in my first attempts on lua-tcc, i wanted to let the user manage the C 
context, but soon found that if you create two or more contexts, the first 
release succeeds, but the second one fails with a 'free'd twice' error.  
digging through the TCC list archives, i found that it's a known bug, and 
Fabrice isn't interested in hacking TCC anymore.

to limit damage, i simplified lua-tcc user API so that you can't mess with the 
C contexts, and they're never released (ugh).  in the end, it's nice for 
tests, but not for heavy usage.
