Re: Lua libraries

[jim@...]

most windows developers do not use the manual 'make'..
dare I say most of them don't even know how to use it
on Win32. Heck they don't even know it exists! This is 
one of the annoyances with most unix packages ported to 
win32. imho you should not rely on make for heavy decision 
making in a Lua build.

Try writing clean docs instead? :)

Jim
