[NTG-context] playing with Windows drag & drop

[context at vivaldi.net]

Hello Pablo,

slight correction:

---- .bat
call lua.exe -e "os.execute('echo context --purgeall 
--arguments=PDFdocument=' .. ([[%1]]):gsub([[\]], '/') .. ' b.tex')"
----

"echo" should be omitted, of course, or be placed just for debugging 
purposes.

Best regards,

Lukas
