Well, I thought he had problems with Lua versions like 5.1.9 vs
5.1.1 ... Are those binary compatible ? If not, this suggestion is
indeed a very good idea since when you download a binary, it is often
said that it's for Lua 5.1 with no precision about the minor version
number. Well, I have to guess, I only download source.
Even if those releases are generally binary compatible, we could
imagine someday a bug that forces binary incompatibility. So the
suggestion is still a good idea.
