Two comments:
1) Adding a manifest, may break your code if it is run on OSs earlier than
XP/SP2. Known problem. If you are using manifests then the code will
probably have trouble on W2K and earlier. I found this problem when a
manifested Lua DLL blew my XP/SP2 out of the water (killed the OS),

2) The luac issue is easily solved. See etc/luavs,bat in 5,1,3. It needs
to be statically linked.
