Release also gives me a good 1,5 or 2 seconds delay between the click
on the checkbox and it's value showing up on screen.

Yes, current HEAD can't find lua libs :(
I've added the full out of autogen.sh below for reference.
I have lua 5.1.3-r3 installed here. But the lib is called
/usr/lib/liblua.a so I think the current script should have been able
to find it.
Lua headers are in /usr/include.

I also have lua with pkg-config enabled here, if this is default,
perhaps configure should use pkg-config.


Btw, I've seen other packages using -I and -L to help configure find
headers/libs in somewhat non-standard places, we should try to have
that as well. But I have no idea how difficult that is.

Thanks,
