Sometime ago some powerful arguments for no change were placed on the list. I believe the arguments are still valid.

 Hi all,

 Some time ago was suggested to change LoadLibrary to LoadLibraryEx then use
the LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH flag. This would benefit the Lua for
Windows distribution so it would not have to change the PATH when installed
and we can have a standalone Lua for Windows distribution, I mean running on
a pen drive without the need of any installation.

  This is necessary because Lua for Windows uses a "clibs" subfolder for all
DLLs. The use of the "clibs" subfolder gives Lua for Windows a more
organized installation.

  My question is, can we have that change in 5.2? It still makes sense?

Thanks,
Scuri
