Thanks for the tip.  texexec --version tells me 

               context : ver: 2005.06.27
               cont-en : ver: 2005.06.27  fmt: 2005.8.31  mes: english

which is pretty uncool.  I guess I'll give the mswincontext.zip a try.
 I've hesitated because I don't see any clear instructions anywhere
and the directory structure in that zip file is unusual for a Windows
distro.  Also don't want to ditch MiKTeX entirely because I'm
experimenting with LyX.  Sigh...

How about just installing ConTeXt myself on top of MiKTeX?  Should work, right?
