installing and running the garden distribution is quite simple (as is updating) .. there are less files too (so no big burden to have it alongside tex live)
With this installation, I get a strange bug:
In the example below, the first integral gets ‘limits' in the displayed formula, as though ‘nolimits’ has not been defined. It works if one puts a character before the first integral sign. So it seems that the \startformula command misses the ∫ definition on the first non-space character.
I haven't debugged this, but my guess is that the int symbol is read before \everymathematics is executed (because \startformula is looking ahead for the optional arguments in [...] and the only way to do so is read the next symbol and check if it is [).
Use
\startformula\relax
...
\stopformula
Just about anything seems to work:
I put in an empty group
\startformula{}
...
\stopformula
Be careful with empty group in math mode:

\startformula{}     -a \stopformula
\startformula\relax -a \stopformula
