I fail to see how this is a problem. If I link my MSVC-compiled program 
with a MinGW-compiled lua53.dll, I might get the following dependency 
tree (swap msvcrt.dll with msvcr120.dll for the reverse case):

  myprogram.exe
  ├───lua53.dll
  │   └───msvcrt.dll
  └───msvcr120.dll

Two runtimes are loaded independently, as described before.
