I try to process a ConTeXt project residing in a directory different from the
current directory (where context is called), imagine e.g. a NFS mounted

I tried to point context to the project directory
by specifying it by the command line option
--path=absolute_path_to_the_directory
but that did not work.

mtxrun --path=... --script context ...

But what to do if the directory specified by the --path= option is not writeable
for the user executing mtxrun?

then put all the project files in <texroot>/texmf-project/tex/context/user, run mtxrun --generate, and run on a directory where the used can mess around

Is there a tree, other than TEXMFHOME, which is scanned at runtime? (so that mtxrun --generate is not needed). For example, one can do the following:

TEXMFHOME=path-to-project-files context filename

But this overwrites the default value of TEXMFHOME. If the mtxrun --generate step were not needed, one could do the same with TEXMFPROJECT tree.
