There is an old perl script `pdftrimwhite` which will do the calculations for
you.
mtxrun --script pdftrimwhite
I hadn't used it for a while and I tried it and it fails because it is still
calling context using texexec:
sub RunTeX
{ if ($UsePlain)
{ $result = `pdftex -prog=pdftex -fmt=plain -int=batchmode $tempfile` }
else
{ $result = `texexec --batch --once --purge $tempfile` }
print $result if $Verbose ; $results .= "$result\n" }
I suspect that changing `texexec` to `context` should make it work with the
current installation as well.
