Subject: Re: Makefile vs LUA_PATH inconsistency
It seems that plain MinGW doesn't have `rm` or `install` executables
(or a `mkdir` that understands `-p`), so you really have to work hard
to make the install target work for MinGW ...
We haven't got any complaints about this but perhaps we should just
remove the mingw target and avoid noise?
So.... there was some opposition to remove the MinGW target. But what
if a separate makefile for MinGW was included (in /etc for example,
similar to the /etc/luavs.bat file for Visual Studio)?
It would allow a specific makefile, working on more Windows
configurations (eg. No 'cp', or 'rm', but their plain Windows
equivalents) without polluting the generic makefile.

Why not? :) As long as it works and is easier to maintain, its ok.
That would work for me too (as does the current Makefile), but if we
provide a full-featured Makefile for Windows including an install
target, we really have to define a default directory layout on Windows
(preferably one that works without setting (m)any environment variables
or compiler flags, or that at least has some other advantage over the
alternatives) ...
