This is a common problem in some APIs. If you cannot store callback data
in WinProc, then the best you can do is to store the Lua state in a global
variable everytime you get in C from Lua, ie, everytime Lua calls C. I've
done that on a some occasions for error handling and other interrupts.
See my lalarm, lbc, lgdbm and lmapm. Look for LL.
