OK. It could be nice then to simply state this?

Thanks a lot for these. With these hints I am now able to compile
metapost figs from conTeXt through "texexec --luatex" normaly.
To this end, I had to perform two tweaks:
* the files mlib-run.lua, mlib-ctx.lua, and mlib-pdf.lua were *NEVER*
loaded so I added to my conTeXt source file:
\directlua0 { dofile
("/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mlib-ctx.lua") }
\directlua0 { dofile
("/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mlib-run.lua") }
\directlua0 { dofile
("/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mlib-pdf.lua") }
* the format was generated correctly but loaded incorrectly:
I had to add the following line:
ini_version = false,
in the metapost.load function in the mlib-run.lua file.
Now everything is OK. The second thing (an misfortunate typo) is easy
to fix. However, the fact that mlib-*.lua are never loaded is more worrying:
any idea where this error comes from?
Hope this will help Hans as well.
Cheers,
Olivier
