Ok - my guess was wrong then, thanks. xetex and luatex where not installed.

Maybe I'm using an outdated sty-file (e.g. dinbrief.sty), will look at it  
later. Is there a database of all styles, fonts etc. for all  
texlive-packages?

That's intentionally: I want the old awk.

Don't think so.

I re-installed luatex and found a stackdump-file (under /tmp during the  
setup-run):

According to setup.log.full all 4 luatex-calls crash. I have to mention  
I'm not using a shell available by cygwin, but something I'm working on,  
that's why I want to know why it crashes.
