This is what I have:

TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

               texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
               texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
                   tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
               context : ver: 2005.01.31
               cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31  fmt: 2007.11.29  mes: english

I think there is now a texlive ebuild that is marked "testing".  Maybe
I should try that first.  I have a package built for teTeX so i can
revert if disaster strikes.

Cheers,
Roger
