both luatools and mtxrun are meant to be unstubbed
(1) luatools itself knows about the tree and therefore can start pretty
fast
(2) mtxrun is the replacement for texmfstart so in our case one would
have a slow stub loading a fast stub loading a program; i didn't test it
but texmfstart could be a symlink to mtxrun
the context command can be stubbed indeed (i need to add that one, but
it's still somewhat experimental)
luatools --selfupdate
mtxrun --selfupdate
should result in an updated versions
