It sounds like an "environmental" problem rather than a problem with
Lua.  How do _other_ infrastructures cope with this in windows?

[A different set of paths for different Lua versions certainly sounds
necessary, but since installation details are outside of the Lua core's
provenance, I guess there's not so much the core can do.]
