Re: \product tag

[Sietse Brouwer <sbbrouwer@gmail.com>]

Hi John,

What Wolfgang said: `\product X` should be processed once inside
`\startproject` environments, and never otherwise. And you should
probably have products as your build targets, not projects.

@Hans: when I looked at the `processors` table in file-job.lua, I
found some discrepancies between the processing commands and the
reporting strings. Here is the table edited to show just the
discrepancies:

local processors = utilities.storage.allocate {
    -- [we_are_inside_startthis] = {
    --     [we_encounter_this] = { "string_for_message",
processing_command }, -- comment
    -- }
    [v_text] = {
        [v_project]     = { "none", context.processfileonce }, -- none
        [v_product]     = { "none", context.processfileonce }, -- none
    },
    [v_project] = {
        [v_product]     = { "once", context.processfilenone }, -- once
        -- consistent, but strange comment
        [v_component]   = { "none", context.processfilenone }, -- many *
    },
    [v_product] = {
        [v_product]     = { "none", context.processfilemany }, -- none
    },
}

Is this all right? In general, the reporing strings are the ones
consistent with the table at the bottom of
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure
which is taken from page 3 of
http://pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-1101.pdf

Cheers,

Sietse
