Ok, I see the problem:

* for Windows, our build system currently hard-codes the filename for
lua53.dll in the build files
* msys2 has updated its lua version

We don't run into this problem on OSX because there's a script that
finds all the necessary dependencies automatically. But on Windows,
we've simply hard-coded all the deps.

So here's an exercise-- change our build system to refer to the
lua54.dll instead of lua53.dll

If anyone wants a more challenging exercise-- change our build system
so that all the run-time dependencies for the Windows msys2 are
automatically searched and copied. :)

Best,
Jonathan
