I don't know about context, but if it's so special that it not even
uses libkpathsea, it should really go at least into a separate
package and (if possible) live outside of the texmf* hierarchies
of the texlive packages.
For generating any `databases' (like the ls-R files in the texmf
directories), it would be nice if this could be done at the fake
stage, so the ls-R files are just perfectly ordinary files in the
plist. For other (non-texlive) stuff, we already have texmf-local,
right?
Ciao,
