The problem is probably due to my installation (texlive 2003 installed
in a non standard directory)
Everything works well but the previous code give me a write page.
(should I put mp code between beginfig..endfig ?)

If I do the magic (from http://contextgarden.net/Linux_Installation)

     texexec --make --alone --all en nl uk metafun mptopdf

After some time it give me:

     `texexec.pl' not found.

In fact, I've never been able to make the basic exemples
about Metafun working.

That is a good raison for using context with Metafun... as soon
as installation works!
