Well, this has been possible for a long time. I prefer this over 
\section{Motivation} since there is less things to type :-) I don't think 
that this is documented anywhere.

Change color= to color=darkgreen (or any other color that you like).

This will also make all the section heads colored. If you do not like it, 
remove color=something from the \setuphead commands.

cite currently does not support changing colors of links. You get the same 
color as interationcolor. I had made some changes in my local copy of 
t-bib, but that won't work because old t-bib uses deprecated method of 
setting variables and constants.

Add something like

\setuptolerance[verytolerant, stretch] before \placepublications. 
Occasionally, I had to edit the bbl file by hand to get the spacing that I 
wanted.

Change \setupinterlinespace    [medium,auto] to [small,auto] or simply 
remove this line.
