We actually have lua.dll:s for the different VS versions
lua5_1_4_Win32_dll6_lib.zip
lua5_1_4_Win32_dll8_lib.zip
lua5_1_4_Win32_dll7_lib.zip
lua5_1_4_Win32_dll9_lib.zip
So perhaps we should fix the build scripts to pick the right one?

I think we may need to add vcredist_x86.exe to the MSVC 2008 build any way.
