Do you mean TL's runscript.exe or context's mtxrun.exe?

Ah, then it must be a copy of mtxrun.exe on win32.

But that is only for symlinked scripts, isn't it?  Shell stub-like
scripts only need to go under Master/bin/*/ and that's it I think (but
correct me if I'm wrong).

No, it has to be a copy of mtxrun.exe from context (the one that links
with mtxrun.dll) or else pstopdf.rb will be run through our
runscript.tlu launcher rather than texmfstart.exe.

Yes, but we only check consistency for symlinks AFAIR. And since
contex's stubs are different anyway...

To summarize: if Taco wants to use shell stubs instead of symlinks,
then coping them to bin/ARCH/ (and the corresponding *.exe stubs to
bin/win32/) and adding binpaterns to context.tlpsrc should do the
trick.
