For a larger project with ConTeXt that should not depend on the availability of perl. We needed a very large section of Texutil (--ref and --figures), so it made sense to port the entire program to C.
What about using another script language like TCL that can be
made into a single file executable? The dependency seems to be "no external reference" and not "no perl" -- isn't it possible to compile a perl prog into an executable?
Essentially, we will have TeX and Texutil and bits of Texexec in a single executable, completely without disk-based versions of the tui and tuo file.
Will this be available for the public? From time to time the question aroses on this list to get a ConTeXt environment without installing a full TeX distribution -- maybe you will have the answer to this :-)
