Indeed! I've been evalulating the Windows Batteries zip from LuaDist
and it comes with the luadist command.

I was looking at this too, but the lack of a windows x64 version (why?) makes it somewhat useless for me.

Sure, I can release binaries for x64 if there is interest. For my purposes x86 works fine and I can use LuaJIT which does not work with MinGW64 yet. Other than that (and perhaps few bugs in 1 or 2 packages that surface during 64bit compilation) it is rather easy to generate. I could also build using Clang but that
is still "experimental" for Windows.

Oh right, they still have broken Win 64 exception support in mingw? That's a shame.

Had a bit of a play with the 32 bit stuff, seems to work pretty well in standalone command line use. Though it didn't want to install luajit for me; it seems I can't have that and Lua 5.1.5 at the same time? (Latest LuaJIT it found was beta 10 too)

Another comment: it seems all the modules expect liblua.dll? It's an unfortunate situation having both lua5.1.dll and lua51.dll without another version... I suppose I could provide yet another proxy dll such that my app will work with these modules, but it's all getting a bit cumbersome.

In any case, it's a pretty nice system!
