I certainly will. I am pretty confident the VC express version is
a complete compiler. It mostly trims off IDE features, not
optimizations or code generation options.

But still, it would be good to be able to build Lua modules with
the tools I have installed rather than installing yet another
compiler. I intend to pursue this sometime in my infinite free
time and will indeed report back.
