Thanks for the reply, I got some help and already posted my 
soultion/project to the wiki. I got Lua to compile as a static lib but I 
can't get luac to compile using it, no matter what? Any thoughts on 
getting luac compiled would be great. it complains about not being able 
to find   luaP_opnames[] even though I have the includes and lib files 
and everything else set up and compiling the linker just bitches about 
this line in print.c  86:   printf("%-9s\t",luaP_opnames[o]);

I really want to add luac to the solution on the wiki, but I couldn't 
get it to work :( Any advice is appreaciated.
