[NTG-context] Update problems: TOC

Hello, all ConTeXters! I finally got around to trying TeXLive2003 and the ConTeXt there. The good news is that it installs into Windows2000 like a charm and all the old font woes are now past worries, the fonts worked the first try. After installing TeXLive I downloaded the newest ConTeXt from Pr
