Except if one works principly with ConTeXt, in which case it is much nicer to have /path/to/minimials by default in PATH. I do the opposite: if ever I need to use latex (lualatex!), this works just fine, except for a few programs such as bibtex for which I just define special aliases: tbibtex -> /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-linux/bibtex etc. I guess that `luatex' is a problem. Maybe the minimals could evolve slightly so that there be *no* name conflicts with texlive except for ConTeXt itself, of course? (It appears that pdfcrop gets broken through a confusion over luatex, perhaps other texlive programs as well.)
