-%     The font loader expects the \TEX Live cache directories to be in
-%     place and due to some quirk in \fileent{data-con.lua} they are
-%     fixed during the run. It follows that we have to ensure their
-%     presence before we can initialize the fontloader.
-%     The most reliable way to do so is by using the
-%     \luafunction{mkdirs()} function from \CONTEXT’s
-%     \fileent{l-dir.lua}.
-%     Unfortunately, for this to work we need to to preload substantial
-%     parts of the \LUA libraries.

-%   Prepare directories: the cache function in Luatex-Fonts checks for a
-%   writable directory only once during startup. If there is no
-%   \fileent{texmf-var} at this time it will create a subdirectory
-%   \fileent{./luatex-cache} instead.
-%   Thus everything has to be laid out before we load the fontloader.
