I would like that version too :) :) :) :)

There are basically two problems. Problem nr. 1 with an easy solution:
1.) syncing luatools has been disabled

if platform == 'mswin' then
    bin = bin:gsub("([a-zA-Z]):/", "/cygdrive/%1/")
    texroot = texroot:gsub("([a-zA-Z]):/", "/cygdrive/%1/")
    command = string.format("%s -t
%s/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/%s.lua %s/texmf-mswin/bin/", bin,
texroot, script, texroot)
else
    command = string.format("%s -tgo --chmod=a+x
%s/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/%s.lua %s/texmf-%s/bin/%s", bin,
texroot, script, texroot, platform, script)
end

Hans, can you please re-enable syncing of luatools, but in case of
non-windows taking
    %s/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/unix/%s instead of
    %s/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/%s.lua
and in case of windows check if that *.lua exists; if yes, copy it,
else ignore it.

It would be nice to keep support for at least the latest "ConTeXt
current", at least until the next current is out.

Michael, if you want to fix it manually, just copy the old version of
luatools.lua from scripts/context/stubs/unix.

The problem #2 is that despite my desire to have backward-compatible
cnf file, apparently luatools is not able to read in the new format. A
home-made solution: in texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua remove everything but
the last line that sets TEXMFCACHE.
