[PD-dev] integrating pdlua into Pd-extended

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hmm, turns out it was already installed on the Windows build machine,  
but I just updated it.  Something with the way pdlua is being linked  
makes it not able to find lua51.dll.  My guess is because the Lua  
build system doesn't generate a liblua51.dll.a to put in /usr/local/ 
lib, like the other libs there.  libogg for example.  I don't know how  
to generate the liblua51.dll.a, do you?
