Sorry for replying to myself.

I gave a look at the build-win32.sh script you pointed me to and, 
although my knowledge of bash scripting is poor (to say the least),
I see that the script has an URL for fetching luasocket sources. I'll 
try that URL and see if I can download the source manually.


BTW, is zerobranestudio distributed in binary form? If it is, maybe I 
may try to reuse the included dll (I know that it may be incompatible 
with my Lua interpreter's binary, but it is worth trying - I *really* 
lack time to dedicate to this (now) hobby of mine - sigh!).

Thanks again!

Cheers!
