I completely agree, but nobody replied to my post when I complained.

Ok, but this is not a better solution.
It's only cleaner from a ConTeXt point of view.
So you do not modify the sources but because of the bug you modify  
200 jpgs.

In any case,  as I have written, I had not output problems with 	 
\externalfigure, but the rli generation needed many texexec calls to  
be completed and was too slow
(even if only for the first time).
Instead, I had no luck at all with pdfs inclusion.

So, my idea would be to clearly specify in the wiki entry that it's a  
momentary workaround.

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who  
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this  
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
