Hello Akira,
you mention possibility of --shell-escape at
http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-March/006410.html.
How exactly do you mean to combine "ffi" and "--shell-escape" to work with latest ConTeXt/LuaTeX?
(I tried (rather amateurishly) to run "context --shell-escape WinTest.mkiv" - but it didn't help.)
BTW:
WinCon.dll contains some functions to print COLORED text to the console screen and enables some basic WinAPI functions (like capturing window bitmap) to Lua;
I've been using especially colored printing in combination with ConTeXt ("warnings" in magenta, "errors" in red...).
Any way to re-enable user DLL loading into ConTeXt, even in the future, would be appreciated...
Best regards,
Lukas

I encountered problem loading WinCon.dll (a module that I wrote and I've been using for several years)
In the new lua(jit)tex, one cannot use DLL modules. See my mail in http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-March/006410.html http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-March/006413.html
Reason: I could not build usable binaries for the new sources by linking dynamically lua-5.2.4 or luajit. Thus I changed to link lua-5.2.4 etc. statically.
Best, Akira
