In MkII ConTeXt used to generate more auxiliary files; in MkIV it only
generates one (.tuc). The log file is a TeX feature that cannot be turned
off (I think).
If you use bibtex, then ConTeXt must also generate the .aux file (because
that is hardwired into bibtex!) and bibtex then generates a bbl file. So,
in the worst case, you end up with four extra files.
