This is because the protocol for calling library loaders has changed
in w6. It currently requires one parameter, the name of the "package"
e.g. print(loadlib('package'))

I have not tried this under cygwin.  The idea of luaconf.h is that you
modify it to suit your compiler/OS.

My bet would be to define LUA_DL_DLOPEN
