I managed to get uppercase letters by using the MakeIndex program 
instead of ConTeXt's built in features -- it was mentioned in an 
earlier thread on this list... But of course my LaTeX-index-styles 
don't work with ConTeXt, and so far I didn't manage to get all the 
letters on the right place (some strange things happened there...). 
Using ConTeXt's built in features would be much smoother, maybe there 
is (or will be) a way to realize those kind of things without 
additional packages/programs, too.
