[Fedora TeX Live] Support for ConTeXt

[Mojca Miklavec]

The attached file should hopefully work. In addition to this you need
to do the following:
1.) make sure that "mtxrun --generate" is called each time when you
run mktexlsr (when you install or update texlive)
2.) patch mtxrun with something like
    resolvers.luacnfspec = '/usr/share/texlive/{,texmf-local/web2c,texmf/web2c}'
see some comments below.

Testcase?

1.) make sure that there is nothing in
~/.texlive2011/texmf-var/luatex-cache and
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/luatex-cache
2.) "install texlive" (read as: make sure that your installation runs
"mtxrun --generate" as superuser, check that this command creates
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var; you may inspect the contents to check if
more or less the right files are listed)
3.) create hello world document:
\starttext
whatever
\stoptext
4.) check that "context hello.tex" works and creates a pdf
5.) run "mtxrun --script fonts --reload" (as normal user)
6.) mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
(or provide some pattern instead of "--all") and check if system fonts
are listed.
