build windows luajit proxy lua5.1.dll alongside lua51.dll

[fiendish]

There's a longstanding historical problem in Windows-land, where because different binary distributions have used different library names, sometimes executables and other libraries link against lua51.dll and sometimes they use lua5.1.dll and then this causes problems. The general solution is have a proxy dll that forwards calls.
See, for instance: http://www.freelists.org/post/luajit/The-dreaded-newbie-questions,10

Can you make the luapower build also link a small proxy lua5.1.dll that forwards all calls to lua51.dll?

Hi,

TBH I don't like these kinds of hacks. If I were you I'd learn how to make custom build scripts for those libs and rebuild them to link against the right library.
