[NTG-context] processing of setvariables/getvariables again

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Taco,

thanks so much! With a slight modification, your solution seems to  
work! I will have to test it a bit, but for the moment, it looks very  
good. Is  the \appendtoks expensive in terms of TeX memory, cpu  
cycles, etc., or is it a good solution for the time being?

All best, and many thanks

Thomas
