[tex-live] context default papersize set in cont-sys.tex after \endinput?

[George N. White III]

"letter" was selected during tl2009 test install.  ConTeXt documents
that don't specify a size
default to 'a4', others are letter.

The command to make letter the default is appended to cont-sys.tex
after the "\endinput":

  ------------------------------------------------------------
$ tail /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-config/tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex

% You can enable a more extensive figure searching, but
% normally this is not really needed and even annoying.
%
% \runutilityfiletrue

% So far.

\protect \endinput
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
   -----------------------------------------------------------------

Note that earlier in this file we have:

   -----------------------------------------------------------------
% Occasionally we will support both A4 and letter in
% styles. If you want letter size paper to be the default,
% uncomment:
%
\enablemode[\systemmodeprefix letter]
%
% If you always want to default to letter, you may uncomment
% the following line, but beware: it makes your documents less
% portable:
%
% \setuppapersize[letter][letter]
  -------------------------------------------------------------------

<http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2008-June/016365.html> suggested that
the \enablemode line be commented and the \setuppapersize line activated,
with \setuppapersize[A4][A4] as the alternative to
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
