I compiled Lua 5.3w2 with a relatively old version of Code::Blocks (GCC) 
under Windows XP SP3 on a Pentium 4 HT.
The interpreter seems to run fine; it doesn't seem to break any of my 
recent programs I tested.

Out of curiosity, I tried running the 'pure Lua' tests (I'll try them 
under CentOS Linux later).

Not all tests work under Windows, I presume by design (more on this 
after the Linux tests) but I suppose strings.lua should. It fails the 
assert at line 118:

  assert(tostring(-0.0) == "-0.0")

which, in fact, also fails in interactive mode (it also fails in Lua 5.1 
and 5.2, in case it may be relevant).
