There are three things which I don't fully understand either:
1. Why are there three files on " http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/ " which is reachable via the " Download ConTeXt " link? There are

Wouldn't *win32* and *win64* files alone suffice? I am wondering what the *mswin* files is for. It is a little bit confusing.
I don't like mswin and would like to switch to win32 to make it consistent with win64, but I need the blessing from Hans first.
Especially because there is also another folder " [...] contextgarden.net/setup2/ ". Again with
context-setup-win32.zip 2016-05-23 22:36 21M context-setup-win64.zip 2016-05-23 22:37 21M
2. Is the " setup2 " folder really necessary?
No. Long time ago Hans asked me if we could switch to rsync from the MinGW project rather than the one based on cygwin's dll. (Then we probably both forgot about this.) The "setup2" is experimental setup bundling rsync from MinGW, the idea was to provide testing setup that would replace the old one. As soon as I get a green light, I could remove "setup", rename "setup2" to "setup" and only leave the new binaries there. (I can also remove "setup2" in principle.) Mojca
