 Add lua-5.0.2

Is this really such a good idea?
We don't do it with all the other libraries we use, so there might be reasons not to so ...
While the lua dir is not very huge now (~1,5MB incl. .svn files), will it grow in the future?
Will frequent updates significantly blow the size of "our" subversion repository?
Will it conflict with an installed lua instance? Packages are available on Debian and certainly other platforms as well ...
As a Win32 developer, I'm used to get the libraries in binary form (with source available, but don't need to recompile), see http://anonsvn.ethereal.com/ethereal-win32-libs/trunk/packages/.
I do believe this isn't a good idea to do it differently than all the other libs ...
