I made some tests this afternoon. I pulled from the various github
sites lualibs, luatexbase, luaotfload, fontspec. After blacklisting
some fonts I could create a fontname database with texlua
luaotfload-tool.lua. 

But using the fonts failed: At first luaoftload-database use load()
where older lua-versions need loadstring(). And if I correct this
problem I get messages about "invalid field id 9". 

On the whole I would say that the current state of luaotfload & co
is unsuitable for the miktex binary. So miktex should either update
the binary or revert to some older version of all this packages.
