if you really need it, the best way is to compile with VC 6.0 or GCC (any)
and use their libraries. these libs were included in Windows since
Win98 or so, so client machine almost always have it. i have 142kb dll
compiled with gcc -Os, and Lua itself is somewhat like 100-120kb of
it. unfortunately, i doesn't know the same secret for 64-bit dll
