That's understandable, since there's no mix of static and dynamic
linking.

My concern is that the debugger will use "one Lua" (statically
linked with SciTE) while the scripts might call "another Lua"
(contained in the Lua DLL), when they require() external libraries 
linked against Lua DLL).

In my experiments, the following script is running OK by a lua.exe
that is dynamically linked to lua5.1.dll, but crashes when run by
a "static" lua.exe. (lpeg.dll is linked dynamically against
lua5.1.dll).

[However, it runs perfectly from Steve's Scite-debug,
despite SciTE being statically linked with Lua].
