console.dll

[Shmuel Zeigerman <shmuz@...>]

After creating a library named console.dll, I encountered a problem that 
was discussed once on the list (see thread [1]).

The source file for my console.dll is:
> #include "lua.h"
> int luaopen_console (lua_State *L) { return 0; }

I run
> lua -lconsole
from the directory, where console.dll resides, and get the following:

> lua: error loading module 'console' from file './console.dll':
> 	The specified procedure could not be found.
>
>
> stack traceback:
> 	[C]: ?
> 	[C]: ?
> 	[C]: ?

According to the message, Lua fails to find the procedure in 
'./console.dll', but that is not true, as in fact it fails on
C:\Windows\system32\console.dll (see [1]).

BTW, my package.cpath begins with "./?.dll;"

So it seems that even if the problem itself is hard to resolve, then at 
least the error message should be corrected, since it is misleading.
