  into each dynamic library. For Unix, we recommend that the Lua library
  be linked statically into the host program and its symbols exported for
  dynamic linking; <TT>src/Makefile</TT> does this for the Lua interpreter.
  For Windows, we recommend that the Lua library be a DLL.
  In all cases, the compiler luac should be linked statically.

<P>
  As mentioned above, you may edit <TT>src/luaconf.h</TT> to customize
  some features before building Lua.
