This update is meant to be included in the upcoming 9.2 release.

New

Support ConTeXt's convention to optionally specify an output directory in a comment line at the beginning of a source file.
If a log file is not found, Vim does not create a new buffer.
Removed syntax/shared files for the following reasons:
- they are not necessary for the plugin to work (they only improve over existing syntax highlighting);
- they are relative large;
- they can be automatically (re)generated by users at any time using ConTeXt (explained in the doc);
- since ConTeXt is updated frequently, they quickly become obsolete.

Minor

Prefer var to const inside functions.
Prefer $-interpolation to printf().
All revision dates set to the same date for consistency.
Updated the error format.
Various tweaks to the documentation, but nothing disruptive or new.
