I promised to send in the code with which I got my multiline footers to
work. Here's the code, complete with our manuals information and the
comments in the code (intended for our translators etc. non-ConTeXt
people; note that you should cut an paste this into a ConTeXt page before
running, this piece only sets the footer. The style of this footer is
crud, but that's how our manuals look now and I was supposed to achieve
something that looks alike...

%------------------------------------------------------------------
% The combination of boxes below make it possible to use multiple
% lines in the footer and also puts the hairline above the text.
% If you don't know what you are doing, do NOT touch anything but
% the  content visible in the pdf version!
