Lua doesn't use aliases nor static objects, so the justifications for 
import libraries don't apply. And you can't (easily) use external 
modules when Lua is linked into the application.

Be glad Lua doesn't use autoconf+automake+libtool. The way it is now, 
Lua is simple to integrate into any project.

That said, I think it would be nice to have a "cygwin" target.
