I was able to install ConTeXt standalone quite easily. So I will definitely be checking this out. It will also provide some inspiration for the API I am trying to build. However, my goals are a bit different. I would like to build a Lua based API module for typesetting, that can work nicely with LuaRocks, and depends on nothing but the LuaTeX binary: no complicated wrapping, no stub files, no format files, no TEXMF trees etc.
