Actually, memcmp isn't going to fix this. :) What is this call
luaV_strcomp used for? Looks like it is called by luaV_lessthan, 
which is called from a number of places. Are these routines acting 
on user defined string data? If so, this would break on a Unicode
system.

I also see the use of strcpy in a number of places. I was 
under the impression Lua was string width independent but maybe
I was wrong.
