Gerben,
With a default install of Context, I don't believe write18 is enabled nor run time development of Metapost graphics. Do you do any of that?
I know about write18 and it is turned off bacause I have to ship a default `secure' setup. What the Metapost issue is, you'll have to explain.
If so, what configuration steps do you take?
Me personally, none. I use ConTeXt and it works fine as is.
Let me be a bit more clear. If you want me to change my redistributions, you will have to make clear I understand what is needed and why. Most often it has just been something like "add this" or "change size setting that". But here, I have no idea what does not work for you and in howfar configuration issues are the point to address. In cases like these, the best way is to send me a small example. If a change would require a non-secure standard config, I will not do it. Nor will I if there is a reasonable run-time (not configure time) workaround (e.g. adding -shell-escape to tex can be done runtime and is thus a better security strategy than turning it on by default). If it is possible to offer some configuration options to the user, I will investigate. G
