Wolfgang,
Thanks for the pointer. I don't have a cont-sys.tex, but cont-sys.rme has these lines
% \runMPgraphicstrue % \runMPTEXgraphicstrue
The .rme extension meant I'd missed it when I ran grep on the .tex files. I'll uncomment them.
Oh, that's not a good idea, because the next context update will overwrite cont-sys.rme. So I should copy cont-sys.rme to cont-sys.tex first, then uncomment the lines in cont-sys.tex. But then a context update will overwrite cont-sys.rme, and the new version will be ignored because I have a cont-sys.tex.
So maybe the best approach is to edit cont-sys.rme directly, then merge changes (using a revision control system like mercurial or git) that arrive with the new context distributions.

You could make a copy of cont-sys.rme and save it as cont-sys.tex without problems. The cont-sy.rme file is only loaded when ConTeXt can't find a cont-sys.tex file on your system. Don't bother about changes in the cont-sys.rme with a new ConTeXt release, because the standalone Distribution for Windows comes with both files and they have also differences. cont-sys.rme says defaultencoding=ec and cont-sys.tex says defaultencoding=texnansi :-) AFAIK this is somewhere mentioned in one of the manuals.
