As is, compiling something as simple as

gives errors.

This won't work with luatex (but it does compile without error messages)
and I cannot (easily) figure out what the correct driver should be...




I have downloaded pgf from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pgf.html

and unzip base.zip
under
minimals-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/pgf
then
$> context test-alan
It seems to work
