Hello Akira,

you mention possibility of --shell-escape at
	http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-March/006410.html.

How exactly do you mean to combine "ffi" and "--shell-escape" to work with latest ConTeXt/LuaTeX?

(I tried (rather amateurishly) to run "context --shell-escape WinTest.mkiv" - but it didn't help.)

BTW:

WinCon.dll contains some functions to print COLORED text to the console screen and enables some basic WinAPI functions (like capturing window bitmap) to Lua;
I've been using especially colored printing in combination with ConTeXt ("warnings" in magenta, "errors" in red...).

Any way to re-enable user DLL loading into ConTeXt, even in the future, would be appreciated...

Best regards,

Lukas
