Don't laugh, but I have a batch file that builds Lua/Luasocket/Expat/LuaXML 
with lcc-win32, completely bypassing make.

I'll soon add sqlite, when it's non-callback API for retrieving rows is

Since I've had build problems (not with lua) under Solaris, I'm 
contemplating a shell script to do the same thing.

Anyone care?
