  All the library packages include the public headers, and the 
source code package is also available in the LuaBinaries.

  From Jim Whitehead mail you can see that "#" is working.

  The manual says that only setn is deprecated, so getn will still 
work, although you should use "#".

  Looking at the source code the LUA_COMPAT_GETN definition affects 
only the luaL_getn and luaL_setn C functions declaration and implementation.
