Can use lua 5.1 instead of luajit? It should support x64

I've recently settled on cqueues, which is a similar concept to coco (i think?) in that it uses yielding to allow for kernel level polling in C. Unfortunately, everything I have looked at is Posix specific.

If you just need a new thread, perhaps you should implement your own wrapper? Caveat: I know little about lua C interfacing.

To get x64 support I have 2 options: either take Lua 5.3.x or LuaJIT 2.0.x, but neither have LuaCoCo support. Is there any change that LuaCoCo patch will be adapted to Lua 5.3.x or LuaJIT 2.0.x.
