Something changed in mtxrun ...

Earlier (checked on the 2009.12.31) if I used

mtxrun bin:vim kpse:2context.vim

the "kpse:2context.vim" was expanded to the full path of 2context.vim. 
Now (in 2010.06.20), "kpse:2context.vim" expands to "tree://<full-path>". 
Of couse, vim does not understand the tree:// prefix and cannot load the 
file. Is there an option to avoid the tree:// prefix?

Almost all the errors in t-vim over the years have due to trying to 
support kpse: directive. (The errors were not a fault of ConTeXt, but the 
way quotes are handled by cmd.exe and the various shells in *nix. I still 
haven't figured out a syntax that works with all shells). This makes me 
wonder whether it was a good idea to make vim module work out of the box. 
Perhaps a more robust alternative was to ask the uses to copy 2context.vim 
to $HOME/.vim/scripts/ and forget about getting mtxrun to locate the file. 
What do others think?

Aditya
