Re: liblua5.so

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

To fulfill the picture, distributions (Debian, RPM, OS X Fink, LfW  
etc.) do provide dynamic libraries.

There are quite a many details involved in exactly how the names,  
linkages etc. need to be done, which is very system specific.  
Personally I find this two-tier approach good. Maybe there could be a  
'linux-so' target in the src/Makefile, or at least comments as to why  
dynamic libraries are not among the targets.
