Many thanks for the new release!

Unfortunately, some of the changes break compilation for Windows under  
non-Microsoft compilers.

First of all, in luaconf.h the MS_ASMTRICK define is now incorrectly  
activated for non-Microsoft compilers. It looks like the  
"defined(_MSC_VER)" check from the beta was changed into  
"defined(LUA_WIN)" for this release candidate. The previous version worked  
fine. So I don't know why it was changed...

Secondly, loadlib.c now skips including (the necessary) windows.h since  
the "defined(LUA_DL_DLL)" check always fails. Note that LUA_DL_DLL is  
defined in luaconf.h, but this is only included in loadlib.c later on  
through lua.h (a couple of lines below).

Ashwin.
