Brad Jorsch 5a9b7cc5a6 More-compatible Linux standalone binaries
The binaries currently provided were compiled against glibc 2.11+, so
people using CentOS 5 (which has glibc 2.5) are not able to use them.

The binaries in this patch were compiled in VMs installed with CentOS
5.9, and so should work for more people; at a glance, it looks like
glibc 2.3 or later will probably work now.

The Windows binaries are from http://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/ . The C 
runtime libraries for Visual C++ 8 are required, and are not bundled. If an 
error is seen reporting that "msvcr80.dll" is not present, it can be downloaded
from Microsoft:

* 32-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=5638
* 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=21254

The Linux binaries were compiled using "make generic". Lua does not use 
autoconf, rather it encourages users to edit the makefile. The makefile patch
used to create the Linux binaries is in generic.patch.

Compiling with "make generic" avoids introducing dynamic library dependencies 
other than libc. This makes the binaries work on a far greater variety of Linux
distributions.
