(only) the texlive package itself I had missed. Now it runs smoothlessly. No clue though what I did run instead.

Not sure how far to go beyond the point of generating decent tex output, with a few options (e.g. the 2-column thing from Ulrich's example). Probably stop just right there. But what you would need to "compile" this tex output should be documented, at least a list of dependendies should be there and some hints how to satisfy those. > There was some volunteer but till now no patch arrived here.
