For Lua 5.1 backward compatibility, things already being messy, I think
you should publish for 5.1.2 a lua51.dll with the Lua code, and a
lua5.1.dll proxy dll that will forward calls to lua51.dll. That way you
could mix modules using both conventions, while still have only a single
instance of the code. The forwarding DLL won't even need any code, since
forwards can be defined in an exports file iirc.
