I'm sorry. I don't know how I missed this message despite a special
notice that it was lost.

Thanks a lot.
set RUBYLIB=/cygdrive/c/programs/texmf/scripts/context/ruby
was the keyword which finally solved the problem.

(And the bitter experience afterwards: ruby doesn't need to be
installed at all, only extracted to some folder and the path has to be
set properly. I feel like a prisoner who doesn't even notice if the
door is unlocked.)
