I would like to generate metapost figures in separate pdf-files (in some 
convenient directory, they are reused elsewhere). This as part of a project 
structure. I know that on a separate run such a pdf can be generated with:
context figurefile running on input
  \input some-metapost-inclusions
  \starttext
  \startMPpage
  ..
  \stopMPpage
  \stoptext

But the idea is to do it on the fly while typesetting a project (using 
mode=*first to prevent further iterations):
..
\component figurefile
..
And in the figurefile
  \startcomponent figurefile
  \environment some-metapost-inclusions
  \starttext
  .. BUT THEN WHAT?

As such it is not sufficient for the goal proposed. Can this be done at all?
