Thanks!  A modifed luavs.bat run from outside the src directory for users  
of .net 2003 (win32):

-------
cl /O2 /W3 /c /DLUA_BUILD_AS_DLL l*.c
del lua.obj luac.obj
link /DLL /out:lua51.dll l*.obj
lib /out:lua51static.lib l*.obj

cl /O2 /W3 /c /DLUA_BUILD_AS_DLL lua.c
link /out:lua.exe lua.obj lua51.lib

cl /O2 /W3 /c luac.c print.c
link /out:luac.exe luac.obj print.obj lua51static.lib
-------

(run the vsvars32.bat to setup cmdline paths etc if necessary)

Running lua.exe causes lua51.dll to load.  luac.exe instead is statically  
linked.  Note the last link command causes a luac.lib to get produced  
also, which is 23k compared to the lua51static.lib of almost 500k. The  
resultant luac.exe is only 155k, so I assume luac.lib is the functionality  
actually required by luac.exe, and is what gets actually included, though  
I'm not completely clear about this (sorry, long since brainwashed by  
IDEs).
