Lua Embeddable Script Interpreter
=================================

This  is  a  prepackaged binary distribution of Lua, built from original
sources from Lua.org, and adapted for installation  by  mingw-get  as  a
component  of  a  MinGW  (mingw32)  system.   It differs from a standard
Lua.org build in the following respects:

- Modified source code provides improved support for cross-compiling.

- Within liblua.a, which is built as  a  static  library,  the  included
  object modules are unencumbered by dll_export attributes.

- An  additional  library,  liblua.dll.a  is provided; this is an import
  library for use in association with the accompanying DLL.

The principal motivation for providing  these  packages  is  to  support
scripting capabilities within mingw-get.  Thus, the MinGW Project offers
no committment to maintain these packages in perpetuity, (other than  as
may  be  required  to maintain mingw-get itself), to follow evolutionary
development originating from Lua.org; please do not ask us for any  such
committment.   If  you  do wish to follow such evolutionary development,
you are advised to obtain the updated sources directly from Lua.org, and
build  for  yourself;  (you  are,  of course, welcome to adopt any build
technique employed in the creation of these MinGW packages).
