Do you mean I can use a Lua executable + DLL compiled with mingw32 + 
MSVCRT and load, say, lfs (or any other Lua library, such as wxLua) 
compiled with the lastest VC and runtime (or vice versa) with no trouble?
I understood otherwise, but I'll be very glad to have been in error; I'm 
definitely no DLL expert.

Does this also apply if Lua is statically compiled (no Lua DLL)?
