For now it's coming from itself, somehow a bootstrap is needed.
Consider there is a static IContext* NewContext(); in the class :

Context ctx = Context::NewContext();

But regarding the bigsnip above, please understand that at this time 
even the class name Context and its interface and the talk about Config 
are moving concepts and names. Be assured that the goal is not to know 
about the config file itself, but to know about where to attempt to load 
fbclient.dll from. While at the same time taking into account that on 
some platforms and configurations there is no ".dll" to load (statically 
linked to application).

I'll come back with this on ibpp-discuss list when the dust will 
settle...  ;-)
