Lua's great (and LuaJIT's broken)

Well, distributing binaries is always a pain in the neck, but in Windows especially, there are a lot of people doing it successfully. For instance, the main Lua distribution has binaries in it.

Well, I'm not switching to Lua just yet (for the reasons enumerated in the email that started this thread), so you don't have to go and do something special just for me. But certainly, as Lua matures and when I'm able to use it for my research, I'm looking forward to using your LuaJIT, hopefully as a point-and-click installable binary. :)

Cheers,
