Reading through lua-l I've come around something interesting: Idle:
http://idle.thomaslauer.com/index.html
Seems to be a bunch of packages around Lua, however only for windows.
It sports GUI, sqlite, JIT (based on LuaJIT 1.15), on-the-fly C compiling through tcc, ... And everything is or under the license of the package containing the code, or some modified version of MIT. Maybe an interesting source for new ideas, or windows-centric stuff?

Thanks for the info :-)

Seems there is a new release of Idle with some bugfixes, but most importantly : the source:
