[PD-dev] integrating pdlua into Pd-extended

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Yeah, we can build Lua on Windows and install it into the MinGW path.   
That's how the rest of the libraries are currently handled.  Then the  
installer grabs the .dlls from the MinGW install path.

Have you successfully built Lua on Windows?  If so, let me know the  
details, and I'll install it on the build server.

Terrorism is not an enemy.  It cannot be defeated.  It's a tactic.   
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and  
expect we're going to win that war.  We're not going to win the war on  
terrorism.        - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
