The writer mentioned that he wanted to "compile Lua as a library 
so I can integrate it with my framework". One assumes that he is 
using VS and is not an absolute newbie. (Well, his writings belies 
that, but still...) Can VS see LF line breaks correctly? I'm not 
aware that there is a need for extreme hand-holding and extreme 
political correctness all of the time, given that the writer is 
apparently capable of using VS. Sorry if anyone who is too 
sensitive got offended.
