- Copy grph-downsample.lua to
  .../context/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/third/grph-downsample/grph-downsample.lua

- context --generate

- Copy hacker.jpg to your directory.

- Write this to test.tex:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\loadluafile[grph-downsample]
\setupexternalfigures[conversion=lowres.jpg, resolution=10]
\starttext
\externalfigure[hacker.jpg][width=5cm]
\stoptext
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

- Then: "context test" (I hope it works...)

- Perhaps wikify it.

Unfortunately, grph-downsample is not in the context-suite.
Mojca, could you add it?

For now, you have to put it to texmf-local.

\loadluafile seems to do the trick, but perhaps there is an official
"context-way", Hans?

The patch is only needed, when you change the size of the image, for
example 5cm -> 6cm. Without the patch, the down-sampled file won't be
regenerated.
