Sorry ... Arthur told me that he fixed some issue, but it still
doesn't work (and probably has no chance to work), so you still need
both parts
    . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex
/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex

I forgot to tell you that you need to either:
- run that command manually
- run "bash"
- open a new Terminal
after you do the changes

You don't need to run texmfstart, it's OK to call just ctxtools, but
--contextversion seems to be broken in the minimals (some broken
functionality in kpathsea-mimicking library).

You should be able to use
    context --version
If context doesn't work, it means that you didn't set the PATH properly.

For setting HOMETEXMF you can help yourself, though it would be nice
if we provided a solution that worked out of the box. But I would like
to get a confirmation from Hans that it's OK to do that.
