Thanks for your response.  I am new to Lua and this is the first library I have
needed.  

I am able to build the .a static library.

My next question is what code needs to be added to lua.c to make the socket and
mime functions available to the interpreter?

Additionally, is the .exe for windows on the Sua page all one needs to run lua
from the dos prompt?
