What if I want to embed Lua in my "Really Cool Application"(tm)? Lua modules 
won't know about "ReallyCool.exe" only lua.exe. I would still need to provide 
a forwarder DLL. Because exported symbols are bound to the name of the 
exporting module, I either have to rebuild every module for each program I 
want to use it with, or just export from a DLL with a well-known name that is 
common to all programs.
