Here's a classic from the lua-list from last year:

A Lua 5.2 shebang for Windows batch files, from the collective effort of lua-l:

::lua::--[[
@lua52.exe"%~f0"%* &@exit/b
]]
print 'hello dolly'
for i,a in ipairs(arg) do print(i,a) end
os.exit(2)

Just call it hello.bat and everything works!  Only with Lua 5.2 since
::lua is a valid label for both syntaxes.
