Cool, I somehow missed that when stumbling around the Wiki.  I'm 
confused by the following though:

http://lua-users.org/wiki/CreatingBinaryExtensionModules

What's the status with that?  There's conflicting data in there, but 
it seems to imply that binary loadable modules will require the app to 
use Lua in a DLL on Windows.

There are some ways of fixing this (a la Quake2/3 where the app 
exports the needed functions through a callback structure -- brute 
force, but surprisingly effective), but I'm not sure what the current 
state is.
