I tried compiling the source as-is from command line with a Visual C++
compiler (and a custom build tool). I had to change a couple things to
get it to compile (didn't make any runtime test so far).

1. LoadString conflicts with a Win32 API function. I replaces all
occurences in Lua with another name (luaLoadString, but the actual
symbol name doesn't matter since it's a static function).

2. The lbitlib.c file doesn't define LUA_LIB before including lua.h,
and the LUAMOD_API macro gets defined as __declspec(dllimport) which
triggers a compilation error.
