Hello,
just a comment. In TeXlive2003, czhyph.tex contains first
\ifx\addlanguage\undefined
\errmessage{This file can be used only in babelised formats!}
\fi
to test if the format is babelised. If the test succeeds it just reads
czhyphen.tex. I asked Petr Olsak either to remove this stupid test from
that file or to add a test for ConTeXt. We prepared a hack that I tried
to propagate into TeXlive, but after asking several times on texlive
mailing list I gave up. After reading a discussion on LaTeX Czech
support (and its backwards compatibility) in the CSTUG mailing list, I
like ConTeXt way of multilanguage support even more :-)
The path of least resistence is probably to make cont-usr.tex to point
directly to the actual position of czhyphen.tex directly :-(, sigh...
Yours,
D.A.
