Re: I just used TCL instead of Lua - here is why

No one mentioned the Tiny C Compiler[1][2]. You can download it from
here[3] then the latest source code from here[2] and bootstrap it. See
win32/tcc-win32.txt in the source distribution for help.
Then you can download tcc-busybox-for-win32.zip and build the patched
busybox and gmake therein with tcc. This gives you a system and
environment capable of building lua and other sources and also very
lightweight, much much less than hundreds of megabytes.

           Click .tar.gz or .zip link from the 'mob' branch.

           Download the appropriate tcc-0.9.27-win{32,64}-bin.zip
depending on your system being 32-bit or 64-bit
