One of the problems with the texmf tree is to get the right scripts/documents launched. On linux, runperl/runruby are used for that, on windows there was runperl.exe which is now irun.exe. Those scripts/apps work ok under most circumstances but not all (especially not when one has multiple trees and multiple instances of the tools).
So ... a few weeks ago I made a small tool:
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texmfstart.rb : for those who have ruby in their path
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texmfstart.exe : for those who don't have ruby installed and are on windows
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mtexmfstart.pdf : for those who are interested
This tool permits things like (on windows): "texmfstart --browser examplap.pdf" but also calls like: "texmfstart texexec.pl optional arguments" and alike. Several search strategies are applied (see manual). The few of you who have seen the integrated context environment (around scite) already may have used this tool indirectly. I didn't yet test this new gimmick on linux but will do that asap.
The next thing that will be posted is 'texsync' which will synchronize your local minimal tex and/or context tree (or part of it, or (part) of the documentation) with the current distribution. (i'm playing with that right now).
