I was trying to make the stand along context work with cygwin using cygwin ruby. Following the advice on the wiki of adding /scripts/context/ruby to rubylib, everything works fine. However, I am not able to enable write18. I copied texexec.rme to texexec.ini and added -shell-escape to all set TeXPassString in texexec.ini. However, I still get system(mpost .....) disabled in my log file. Reading through newtexexec.rb it seems that it does not check the ini file. Is this correct? Or am I missing something.
