Is this really such a good idea?

We don't do it with all the other libraries we use, so there might be 
reasons not to so ...

While the lua dir is not very huge now (~1,5MB incl. .svn files), will 
it grow in the future?

Will frequent updates significantly blow the size of "our" subversion 
repository?

Will it conflict with an installed lua instance? Packages are available 
on Debian and certainly other platforms as well ...

As a Win32 developer, I'm used to get the libraries in binary form (with 
source available, but don't need to recompile), see 
http://anonsvn.ethereal.com/ethereal-win32-libs/trunk/packages/.


I do believe this isn't a good idea to do it differently than all the 
other libs ...
