5.1 rc mod giving -0 (never just 0)

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

Not sure if this is worth bringing up, but...

Lua 5.1-rc always gives "-0" for zero mod results. Since PIL2 says  
"the result always having the same sign as the second argument", this  
raises my eyebrowns.

Also, it would certainly be more 'natural' for a programmer to  
receive 5%5 == 0, although functionally the 'sign' of zero does not  
hurt.
