Despite the consensus of the wise [5] I still think it's useful to have a self-contained build tool that works on all major operating systems, with the two major compilers, MSVC and GCC. 

Fixed a few show-stoppers ('sudo lake' can find its proper home, file.group and utils.sleep were borked on Unix) and here's the 1.4.1 binaries, for Windows, OS X and Linux.

Or through LuaRocks with  http://stevedonovan.github.com/files/lake-1.4.1-1.rockspec  

Entertaining fact: on OS X the single exe is 230Kb, which is actually somewhat smaller than gmake on that platform....

(If nothing else, it's a really lean & mean Lua 5.2 distribution, utility functions + lfs + (winapi | posix);  it will directly run any Lua scripts)
