In sofar as lay out is concerned, I use:

\lettrine{T}{\kap{\bf here is no}} such thing as `digital technology'.

This smoothes the gap between the first character and the normal type.  
Automatiing that in terms of \setup will be even harder, I guess. But  
then again, if your book has 20 chapters, you only need to do it 20  
times ;-)
