And since you've done the hard bit, you would be the logical person to
distribute amd64 Windows LuaJIT binaries ;)

It's pretty easy with mingw, but only for x86, alas. That I can do easily.

IHMO, enabling LuaJIT's Lua 5.2 compatibility (__len, __pairs and
__ipairs) would be a useful default for such binaries.

One of the irritating things about MS is that they are not consistent
about eating their own dog food; the Office and Windows divisions
don't fool around with all those incompatible runtimes that the rest
of us mortals are supposed to use.
