What's the easiest way to right-align a left-aligned block of text?

No, that's a simple left-aligned (raggedright) block of text.
I need to right-align a left-aligned block, like this:

	                |
	one line        |
	a very long line|
	another line    |
	                |

The text should go as far to the right as the longest line allows.

Gr��lis vom Hraban!

Using Plain TeX macros, which work also in ConTeXt, I do it the following way (which is probably not elegant...):

\starttext

\vbox{
\hbox{\bf laboratoire\dots}\medskip
\line{\it universit\'e de versailles\hfill cnrs (umr 7641)}
\vskip .3 true cm
\hrule
\vskip .3 true cm
\line{%
\vtop{
\hbox{Laboratoire\dots }
\hbox{B\^atiment Fermat}
\hbox{Universit\'e de Versailles}
\hbox{45, avenue des \'Etats-Unis}
\hbox{78035 Versailles cedex}
\hbox{France}}
\hss\vtop{
\hbox{t\'el\'ephone : 01 39 25 25 25}
\hbox{{secr\'etariat : num\'ero \`a pr\'eciser plus tard}}
\hbox{fax : 01 39 25 25 25}
}
}
}

\stoptext
