texmfstart is usually "copy texmfstart.rb to texmfstart in bin and
make it executable". The drawback is that if something changes, it
needs to be updated in the bin folder as well.

tetex had an interesting way to call texexec though. (I have never
tried to understand it, but when texexec.pl has been updated, the
latest verision has been taken without the need to update binaries.)

Isn't this a bit dangerous if scripts move around?
     script=$(dirname $0)/../../ruby/texmfstart.rb

Something rsync-ish might pop up ...

(In case that you figure out some more details about "context" stub,
please let me know ... I didn't manage to make it work either. It
seemed as if luatex didn't manage to find mtx-context.)
