Yes. I had quite some trouble getting LR to work with mingw and Luajit. For
the most part, I hacked around it, copying lua51.dll to lua5.1.lib and a
couple of other things I've forgotten about. If it could work more
out-of-box for mingw, that'd be nice - as long as it doesn't cause problems
for those using the MS toolset.
