Indeed... the naming issue of DLLs here is still a problem.  There's no
reason for LuaCheia, IUP, etc to work with a 'standard' Lua set of DLLs.  I
will certainly be shipping our own build of them with our application; but
I'm happy to follow standard naming rules to be compatible.

Yep, there are a lot of these... the Lua ones got cleaned up when moved to a
"namespace".. but others are just in a table with exactly the same names as
before.  Another one that comes to mind is bitlib... bit.bor etc seem
redundant now.
