Differences between "standard" Lua and the one in MUSHclient

For the record, this is a "diff" of the Lua DLL supplied with MUSHclient, compared to the standard distribution from www.lua.org:

Basically the changes are:

Cranked optimization up from O2 (Optimize even more) to O3 (Optimize yet more).
Changed the DLL name to lua5.1.dll (rather than lua51.dll).
Turn off some compatability options: LUA_COMPAT_VARARG, LUA_COMPAT_MOD, LUA_COMPAT_LSTR, LUA_COMPAT_GFIND and LUA_COMPAT_OPENLIB. The comments in the file luaconf.h suggest turning those off as soon as possible, so I have done that.
Turn on the option LUA_USELONGLONG, and use the appropriate format specifiers, in order to better support conversion from floating point to integers.

It is also worth pointing out that to make the DLL (under Cygwin) I had to use this command line:



make "CC=gcc -mno-cygwin" mingw

If you don't specify "-mno-cygwin" then it builds a dependency on cygwin.dll, which adds an extra DLL to ship, and extra space.
