I am a bit confused. How could lua_swupdate.so build at all (even in
shared library configurations) when HAVE_LUA is not enabled ?

I see the patch has been applied upstream, so I guess it is correct,
but still that confuses me a bit. Or maybe lua_swupdate.so doesn't link
with Lua ? 

Thanks,

Thomas
