This one hast just cost me two hours, and I'm still baffled. The
story (in shorthand): was trying to integrate a positional metafun
graphic into a presentation. I got no output. I tried making a
minimal example file to reproduce the problem, and sure enough,
everything went fine. I rebuilt the entire file, by pasting one
paragraph of the original file at a time, and I got exactly the
output I wanted. [Drumroll] I deleted the original file and
everything associated with it [i.e. all those .tui and .tuo etc.],
saved the new file from my /tmp directory to my working directory,
and -- I got no output again. diff shows that both files are
identical. Looking at the logs, there's only one difference I can spot:
< \openout5 = `test-mpgraph.mp'.
---
> \openout5 = `05.11.08-mpgraph.mp'.

The "MP to PDF" part is missing from the file 05.11.08, which might
explain why I don't see anything in the resulting pdf. But why? Can
anybody enlighten me why the same file can behave differently? And
how I can coax ConTeXt into running this MP to PDF thingy? Thanks
Thomas
