restructuring this page
I think this page should get a completely new structure. We should have instructions on
- firsts time installation
- updating ConTeXt.
Both items should be subdivided to describe different distributions, not necessary platforms. So installation of TeXlive is the same on Linux and OS X, MikTeX has only Windows installation etc. What about vtex (no ConTeXt support as far as I know) and xetex (somebody is working on it)
And for updating ConTeXt: it is important to show the user how to update ConTeXt in a seperate path, so he doesn't mess up his (her?) distribution if anything goes wrong.
And finally, we should (as already done) show what files needs some editing (cont-sys.tex, texexec.ini...)
What do you think?
