So, the easiest solution is to move (or perhaps simlink) the file

the md5 hash will be created in the tmp directory.

It will probably work, but is not a nice solution in my opinion. It looks
strange that the document includes files from the tmp directory. From a tmp
directory I expect to be able to delete the content without any effects.

I do not make that assumption in t-vim. Currently there is no way to specify the output directory to mtxrun --ifchanged. So, the only way that I can implement this feature is to either manually copy the input file, or manually copy the md5 file. I do not think that either of these options is worth the trouble.

Is it possible to convince the context script to remove the temporary
stuff when called with the --purgeall option?

I will look into that. I guess that the easiest way out is that, instead
of using .vimout extension, I use .tmp extension. Then, all the temporary
files will be removed by --purgeall.

I don't think so. AFAIK --purgeall only deletes .tmp files with the basename
as the document itself.

I think it would make sense to convince --purgeall to be more grabby and to
remove all .tmp files in the working dir + all files in the »directory« dir
(here tmp). But I'm not sure about possible displeasing side effects, though.

I am not sure what you want. Do you want

context --purge filename

to remove all the temp files that t-vim creates, or do you want

context --purgeall

to delete all the files created by t-vim that reside in the current directory?
