Hello,

I must say I don't understand the part "I'm trying to use some luatextra 
functions, [...] but it fails because it needs luatextra", can you be 
more explicit ? Do you mean that luatextra.lua needs luatextra.sty? Or 
are you talking about luamcallbacks and luaextra?

It sounds like a good idea! Although I think it would be necessary to 
write a small script to load ConTeXt modules (to load them only once, to 
write the name to the log file, etc.)...

Thank you!
