Subject: Win32 binaries and MSVC6 projects

Hello.

Wanting to play a bit with Lua 4.0, and still waiting for official Windows 
binaries, I decided to make my own. I don't have gcc, I "just" have MSVC6 (or 
5), so I had to make my own makefiles.
I looked the way the 3.2 official Win32 binaries were made, and tried to stay 
as closely as possible to them.
More details about this at the Web page I have setup for this:

Actually, you can find there not only the binaries, but also the project 
files.

Hope this help.

Taking example on the 3.2 DLLs, I have made my 4.0 LuaLib.dll depending on the 
Lua.dll... Make sense, as we rarely use the former without the later, anyway.
It isn't stated in \Install because it doesn't intent to give dependencies, I 
suppose.

Last note, for Windows users: the following .reg file content can be useful...
You have to change the path of your favorite editor, and of your Lua binaries 
of course. I should include it in my package.
