--[[
Job control files aka ctx files are rather old and date from the mkii times.
They were handled in texexec and mtx-context and deals with modes, modules,
environments and preprocessing in projects where one such file drives the
processing of lots of files without the need to provide command line
arguments.

In mkiv this concept was of course supported as well. The first implementation
of mtx-context took much of the approach of texexec, but by now we have gotten
rid of the option file (for passing modes, modules and environments), the stubs
(for directly processing cld and xml) as well as the preprocessing component
of the ctx files. Special helper features, like typesetting listings, were
already moved to the extras (a direct side effect of the ability to pass along
command line arguments.) All this made mtx-context more simple than its ancestor
texexec.

Because some of the modes might affect the mtx-context end, the ctx file is
still loaded there but only for getting the modes. The file is loaded again
during the run but as loading and basic processing takes less than a
millisecond it's not that much of a burden.
