I'm going to defer working on [Perl & Ruby].
we dont't need full perl and ruby; perl only when you want to use mptopdf, which is not needed because texexec can do the same; so, a small ruby is enough
Is it also possible to use MK IV (or some other lua scripts) to convert .mp files to PDF by any chance? (I'm only asking - this is not a feature request.)
So does anyone on the list have any experience in packaging a stripped-down Ruby?
Packaging ruby: you only unzip it and set the path. A stripped-down ruby: probably parsing (even if manually) ruby scripts from ConTeXt to determine which packages are needed, and delete the rest of the tree/ruby libraries :) I'm sure that not the whole 70 MB of ruby are needed to run ConTeXt. Mojca
