It isn't sufficient to check whether you are root.  Imagine that there
is a dedicated account "texadmin".  Then the problem still exists.

In my opinion, if ConTeXt expects the files always in the
user-specific TEXMFVAR, users have to create the files themselves.
Then the installer shouldn't do anything.  And a single-user system
is not an exception then.  I suppose that the ConTeXt documentation
already explains how to setup things, and I think this is sufficient.
