The included manifest was only for the Release configuration. It was
missing a flag and a define.

The project configuration was linking with the dll. It must link with the
static library.

VC6 and VC7 IDE projects will not be supported anymore.
I uploaded new source packages with these fixes. Thanks for pointing that
out.

It was not suppose to build.
BTW, the proxy DLL was missing from the distribution files. I uploaded new
packages with the proxy DLL.

The name "lua5.1" was a decision we made at the release of LuaBinaries for
Lua 5.1.0. Unfortunately it was a bad decision, but because of several
applications compatibility we will keep it until Lua 5.2.0 is released.
This was already discussed here and I added a few more lines in the
documentation about it.

Yes, they are mean to be different.

We have 68 different files to release. The names are already big. Although
the project name is LuaBinaries we are releasing Lua files. For now we do
not have a strong reason to change that.
