We'd rather have the simplest luavs.bat possible. Here is what is at
http://www.lua.org/extras/5.2/luavs.bat. What is the simplest .bat that
does the same thing but wihout variables and ideally without the manifest
stuff, if at all possible? In particular, what compilation options are
really needed? Thanks for your Windows expertise.
*** luavs.bat from http://www.lua.org/extras/5.2/luavs.bat
@rem Script to build Lua 5.2 under "Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt".
@rem Do not run from this directory; run it from the toplevel: etc\luavs.bat .
@rem It creates lua52.dll, lua52.lib, lua.exe, and luac.exe in src.
