I found it bad to do this so deep in the system as well. I found a way
that enables \write18 only for ConTeXt, using the texexec configuration
file. I documented it at:
<http://contextgarden.net/Texexec.ini>

Basically, you would change texexec.ini so that it had the line:
for  miktex  set  TeXPassString     to  --alias=context -shell-escape

...is there any reason why this wouldn't work for MikTeX?
or, for that matter, for general ConTeXt use?

:) I suppose Hans could, but it would mean fewer people come join the
ConTeXt community...
