What about 
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/swig/swigwin-1.3.27.zip? It 
contains swig.exe. A big advantage of swig over tolua is that you could 
easily support any other of the scripting languages by just adding an 
appropriate interpreter in your C/C++ code, your .i file doesn't change. 
Not to mention robustness. Cheers,
