If kpsewhich is not used and replaced by mtxrun why is it included in context 
minimals??

If nothing else it is included because of MKII. It is entirely
replaced only in MKIV.

I'm not sure whether MKII can be convinced to use mtxrun or not, but
at least under windows pdfTeX binary is somehow linked to kpathsea and
I'm almost sure that running pdfTeX would not run without kpathsea.
(But I may be wrong.)

indeed, pdftex and mpost need the kpse lib, as does the previous texmfstart; texexec still uses it (and caches lookups) but could proably do without now

(in a mkiv minimals only kpse* is not needed)
