Comment:
-In ConTeXt MkIV we have two core scripts: luatools.lua and mtxrun.lua where the
-second one is used to launch other scripts. The mtxrun.exe program calls luatex.exe.

+In ConTeXt MkIV we have two core scripts: luatools.lua and

Normally a user will use a call like:
- mtxrun --script font --reload
-
-Here mtxrun is a lua script. In order to avoid the usage of a cmd file on windows this
-runner will start texlua directly. In TeXlive a runner is added for each cmd file but
-we don't want that overhead (and extra files). By using an exe we can call these
-scripts in batch files without the need for using call.
-
-The mtxrun.exe file can be copied to a mtxrunjit.exe file in which case luajittex.exe
-is called.

-We also don't want to use other runners, like those that use kpse to locate the script
-as this is exactly what mtxrun itself is doing already. Therefore the runscript program
-is adapted to a more direct approach suitable for mtxrun.
