Eero:

This will be great. I act very poorly with any kind of C/C++ stuff. In 
fact, I'm planning use Lua stand-alone *only*. My Lua v5ß was built 
with MinGW v3.2 and it's working ok. Somehow, I still think it could go 
a little faster... I'd appreciate any help on this compiler (MinGW) or 
any other for Windows (I also have Watcom 11.0c, though uninstalled).

Kind regards,
