Which BTW, makes it very hard for LuaRocks to deliver binary rocks on Windows.

There are so many variants - generally the GNU toolchain is better
because it doesn't change its runtime every year.

It would take an heroic effort to do this - though I think LuaDist is
onto something good - Peter Drahos builds EVERYTHING (including C
dependencies) using CMake.

His 'batteries' mini-distribution is a worthy successor for Lua for Windows.
