Re: PATCH: Lua5.1-work3 loadlib cleanups

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

It's quite easy to get the localized 'Program Files' path off the 
registry with 100% Lua, if you would be interested.

But about the local/lib vs. local/share, still.. *nagging*   I 
understand "binaries should to lib" and so, but.. what about 
precompiled Lua modules (.luc).  They're 'binaries', right?  And I'd 
personally prefer to keep a module's wrapper (.lua) and the module 
itself (.so) as close to each other in the filesystem as possible.  
Here, they actually fall way apart from each other (Win32 suggestion is 
better).
