  Not one by default.  And as long as you keep on system thread, one Lua
state, there is no need for one.  If, however, you want to share a Lua state
among system threads, you'll need to recompile Lua with an implementation
for the two given functions:

	lua_lock()
	lua_unlock()

(right now they're do-nothing macros)
