Hello,
setuptex (sh, bash, ...) has most definitions commented out
and to work with the minimals seems to need only to set the PATH.
I currently use the minimals for ConTeXt,
and TeXlive for LaTeX (for article submission, where I cannot use ConTeXt).
Having the minimals in my PATH before TeXlive works fine this way
(TeXlive lualatex is found correctly),
but it does cause problems with bibtex, for example,
where the minimals binary is found first with this PATH.
setuptex.csh is less maintained, it appears.
I no longer use (t)csh and I see that Mojca and Arthur propose
to remove this script. I have no objection,
but it does appears from this thread that it is indeed still used.

P.S. by the way [concerning the (ba)sh version],
I take care of the verbose echo locally, as:
if [ -r /usr/local/context/beta/tex/setuptex ]; then
if [ "x$PS1" == "x" ] ; then
source /usr/local/context/beta/tex/setuptex >
/dev/null
else
source /usr/local/context/beta/tex/setuptex
fi
fi
(otherwise this will cause trouble for rsync, for example)
so the portion:
# for Alan Braslau's server :)
if [ "x$PS1" != "x" ] ; then
echo "Setting \"$TEXROOT\" as ConTeXt root."
fi
can be simplified, if Mojca wishes. :)
