This is true, except for the word 'documentation' ;)

I do wish the alternatives were not so complex and requiring a special
install (of several _megabytes_, in the case of CMake)

tolua++ is built with Scons, which is tolerable on Debian (just ask
the package manager) but would require a Windows user to grab Python.
So Windows people tend to build it by hand!
