5.0.2 doesn't compile anyway - to be more precise: configure --with-lua
fails anyway:

checking whether to use liblua for the lua scripting plugin... yes
checking lua.h usability... yes
checking lua.h presence... yes
checking for lua.h... yes
checking lualib.h usability... yes
checking lualib.h presence... yes
checking for lualib.h... yes
checking lauxlib.h usability... yes
checking lauxlib.h presence... yes
checking for lauxlib.h... yes
checking for lua_call in -llua... yes
checking for luaL_openlib in -llualib... no
checking for luaL_register in -llua... no
configure: error: Linking with liblualib failed.

Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
