for context this is some 50 MEG (fonts take up space -); i have a batch 
file that generates subset of tex live (so that i can make small snapshots 
with updated contexts and keep them in archives); the coming year i'll put 
it somewhere for 'external' users to pick up and play with so i expect that 
for the next tex live i can provide you with the scripts to 'collect' what 
is needed for context (+plain). Only pdf (i have dvips on it just for the 
sake of generating outlines using pstoedit). [dvi is still needed for cjk 
users who want to use dvipdfmx, but that's only one extra binary)
