...which probably means "such as UN*Xes"; that sounds like a difference between using autoconf and config.nmake.
If we don't have a HAVE_LUA definition independent of the Lua version, that sounds like a bug in the configure script. Does CMake define HAVE_LUA, HAVE_LUA_5_1, both, or neither?

That function (and make_menu_xml()) can easily be used outside the context of Lua menus, and there's nothing about them that fundamentally binds them to Lua. That said, it doesn't matter enough to me if their names include the word "lua" since they might change at a later point when someone sees wider use for them.
"Someone" meaning "the Python interface", for example?
