well, lua is not exactly a "requirement" for wxLua currently: that is, 
wxLua already have lua sources inside it so that it does not require an 
external lua library ;)

this may be a Good Thing; however I'm unsure; it would add a lot of 
complexity to the build system because if we want to use the system-wide 
lua then we should also avoid to include the lua headers which we have 
in "wxLua\modules\lua" in favour of the system-wide headers (since it's 
not 100% granted that the two set of headers are identic - and this 
could lead to weird build errors).

It's so simple to just overwrite the system-wide install of lua that I'd 
prefer that way (provided that we document that clearly in the readme) ;)

nor do I; the overwriting matter is unix-only in fact.

Thanks,
