Since installing the last ConTeXt update I am aware of the message  
from
texexec:
      warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead
Good, I call:
      "texmfstart texexec --version" instead of "texexec --version"
Result:
      -bash: texmfstart: command not found
Is my system suddenly incomplete?
I am using Mac OS X 10.4.6, the most recent development I would  
think.
What happened and how can I get to the level of system support  
ConTeXt seems
to expect of me?
I don't know how it is on Mac. Under windows I have a binary (cont-win
on pragma download site), under Linux I create a file "texmfstart"
with
   ruby /path-to-tex/texmfstart.rb $*
(or something similar)
see also the new scripts/context/stubs/mac folder (I didn't check, I
only suppose that it's there) if anything there can help you.

Putting the ruby script in the right path and giving it executing  
permissions solved most of the problem.
However there is a warning message left:

TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

(./test-mpgraph.1) (./test.tuo)

Since this message results from the internals of "texmfstart texexec"  
it might be a leftover lonely "texexec" in the scripts. I tried to  
find it, but could not find my way around the ruby scripts.
