Is there a way to output several MetaPost PDF graphics from a single
ConTeXt source file. For example,
\startMPpage
draw fullcircle scaled 72;
\stopMPpage
\startMPpage
draw unitsquare scaled 72;
\stopMPpage
and have a separate output PDF generated for each MPpage? It seems that
this ConTeXt code generates a single PDF which contains only the first
graphic. I would like to have either
1) two separate PDF's with each containing their own graphic
2) a single two page PDF where each page corresponds to the appropriate
graphic.
Of course, the "holy grail" would be to be able to "compile" a MetaPost
source file with ConTeXt.

for 2)
save this in test.mkiv
\starttext
\startMPpage
draw fullcircle scaled 72;
\stopMPpage
\startMPpage
draw unitsquare scaled 72;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext
$>context test.mkiv

If you add \starttext ... \stoptext, then ConTeXt generates a single PDF
with all pages.

You can use external tools like pdftk to split a pdf file into multiple
files.

See above.

(Relevant? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/78007)
With a recent beta, you can use:
context file.mp
to compile a ConTeXt file.
