Lua Alien library

[Attila <ejjeliorjarat@...>]

Hello list!
Some days before I asked about how to execute a command line command  
without the flashing shell, and there somebody pointed that I should use  
Alien library. So, I checked that out, and after it's documentation, it  
seems very promising. But on the LuaForge page I found _just_ the source  
code. Ok, I knew about a machine where MSVS08 is installed, so tried to  
compile it. After some days, I was able to do it, because I am not a C  
programmer, and it took a time while I noticed that it uses #ifdef WINDOWS  
and VS uses _WINDOWS. After I did these things, and compiled it, I tried  
it with Lua5.1, and the tests failed. First, require("alien") fails,  
because it excepts require("alien.core") (as I saw it in the .def file).  
Even if it loads the library, I am unable to use it, because on  
alien.load("libname") it throws an 'error'. By error I experienced: the  
Lua stand-alone writes an 'A' to the output, and a short message (stack  
traceback) about the line where I used load.
I think (and it pertains for all Lua libraries) a precompiled form would  
be good, because many Lua programmer don't have C development environment.  
And, the documentation contains references to Linux OS, nothing about  
Windows, as well as the tests.
I hope somebody can help me with it, and able to share a _working_ x86 dll  
with me, and can show me some examples, because it seems like I found the  
library which I need for my work :)
