I think there is a simpler way. Just run the following:

$ lua
> = package.loadlib("a", "b")

If the error message is something about not finding "a" (e.g.,
"a: cannot open shared object file"), then you have DLL support.
Otherwise, the error message is something like "dynamic libraries
not enabled".
