This one comes up frequently ;)
E.g.
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2010-11/msg00479.html
for an interesting generalization.
I think the usu way of doing it is:
while condition do repeat
 if something then break end --- breaks the repeat, acts like continue

until true; end
Of course, this means that it's hard to actually break out of the while...
