Lua 5.2.2 compilation on Windows

[Serge Lamikhov-Center <to_serge@...>]

Hi,
 
I have tried to compile Lua 5.2.2 on Windows. Generally, everything goes smoothly. With exception of one problem - the current source base does not permit to 'luac' to use 'lua522.dll' because some symbols are not exported in DLL. I addressed this problem locally at http://github.com/serge1/vslua. The change consists of three lines declaration modification.
 
For your convenience, I am providing the patch below.
 
Do you think that the problem addressed correctly? Would it be possible to apply (this, or another) fix for upcoming Lua releases?
 
Thank you,
Serge

Subject: [PATCH] Modify Lua sources to compile as a Windows DLL

"luac" compilation is not possible without these changes
