Re: Stripping down the Lua interpreter

[Stefan Sandberg <keffo.sandberg@...>]

It was ages ago, so I might have trouble locating the source, but I got 
a win32 exe+dll down to a combined size of 17kb, including a short 
luac'ed script dumping hello world 10 times.
I'll have a look if I can find it again, in the depths of my 
test-folders with inconsistent names... :)
