problem with liblua at configure

Hello,
seems that configure script from wxLua-2.8.7.0-src.tar.gz check the  
system lua installation using -llua5.1 but the standard name for  
liblua is liblua.a, using -llua5.1 would give a fail even on a system  
with lua 5.1 installed properly, this should be fixed.

What system are you using? We discussed this a while back and found
that different distributions call it whatever they want. I'm not on
linux right now, but I think that you might be able to override this.

I'm on Leopard using macports.

The point is lua sources install liblua.a so wxLua should link against  
-llua, I think the naming is just a facility for the distros to make  
newer (5.1) and older (5.0) lua versions coexist but wxLua shouldn't  
rely on arbitrary behaviour.

Sure I did (just symlinked the library) but I felt it should somehow  
be fixed back to the source.

I see on my system pkg-config has lua support so maybe the configure  
script could switch to pkg-config.
