Tell us next time what a package is supposed to do.
\setuplayout
[backspace=1in,
width=middle,
topspace=1in,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt,
height=middle]
\starttext
...
\stoptext
or use \definelayout to predefine different layouts and load
them in your document.
Wolfgang

Concerning the second question, the following is the reply from Hans
months ago to me.
I think Hans is right, since fonts are quite complex, but it *will* be
a lot easier if we have that mechanism since this mechanism will be
applicable to most fonts.
If there are fonts that fontconfig cannot handle well, then the user
can define them in the old way.:

i never looked into that interface so i cannot comment on it, but i've
learned my lessons with fonts ... they are all different and any 'clever
automated mechanism' will at some point fail, so then one ends up with
exeptions; when defining a document style one needs to know the font,
its usage (what variants, styles, etc) and often also it slimitations
(font feature are not that well defined and fonts might have incomplete
implementations)
the best one can do is make a typescript (or a collection, as with tex
gyre which tries to be consistent over the whole range) that implements
a definition and even then, a different version of a font (i mostly use
commercial fonts and font ABC may have different implementations) may
hav edifferent properties; also, there is not one good usage (typescript
combination) of a specific font, esp now that we have many features
actually, talking about features, you need to keep in mind that even
when you define a specific instance, applying such an instance to a
whole document might fail because some features may not cover the whole
possible set of combinations of characters (take frac as an example) and
so usage demands knowlegde
eventually we may have a set of predefined typescripts that cover most
system fonts
