Re: Lua on Windows: lua51.dll versus lua5.1.dll

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

There's no technical issue at all, could have named it jeff.dll, it 
doesn't matter..

It -is- however named one or the other with the purpose of being 
descriptive and put into context as interpreted by a human,
as opposed to say just a unique ID, so for the sake of clarity, I 
strongly advocate '5.1', as it's far more descriptive than 'fifty-one'

(not to mention that the vast majority of humans are morons and can't 
properly deduce the meaning of 51 in the context of lua., but I guess
that wont be an issue for real until lua 51.0 is released, so might as 
well remove that possibility right now)
