So what environment variables can I set globally to avoid the need for
running setuptex.bat?  My first guess is:

OSFONTDIR=%SystemRoot%\fonts
SETUPTEX=done
CTXMINIMAL=yes

TEXPATH=C:\...<whatever the path is>...\context\tex\
TEXMFMAIN=%TEXPATH%\texmf

TEXMFOS=%TEXPATH%\texmf-mswin
TEXMFPROJECT=%TEXPATH%\texmf-project
TEXMFFONTS=%TEXPATH%\texmf-fonts
TEXMFLOCAL=%TEXPATH%\texmf-local
TEXMFEXTRA=%TEXPATH%\texmf-extra

TEXMFCNF=%TEXPATH%\texmf{-local,}\web2c
TEXPOOL=%TEXMFOS%/web2c\{$engine,}
TEXFORMATS=%TEXMFOS%\web2c\{$engine,}
MPMEMS=%TEXMFOS%\web2c\{$engine,}
MPPOOL=%TEXMFOS%\web2c\{$engine,}

Path=%TEXMFOS%\BIN;%Path%

TEXMFCACHE=%TEMP%
VARTEXMF=%TEXMFCACHE%\texmf-var

TEXMF={$TEXMFOS,$TEXMFPROJECT,$TEXMFFONTS,$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
TEXMFDBS=$TEXMF


RUBYLIB=%TEXMFLOCAL%\SCRIPTS\CONTEXT\RUBY;
