I do not plan to distribute a Win32 binary with Lua support. You can
build it yourself, or perhaps someone will provide it.

My builds are compiled (but untested) with LUA, compiled every few days:

Which and why? Maybe I could switch, too. ;-)

My builds use both Python 2 and 3.
For compiling trunk builds I use the attached batch file, Visual Studio
2010 (you might have to change some paths accordingly). Loosely
commented, working fine with Windows 7 (German, so "C:\Programme" is a
hard link to "C:\Program Files", but I wanted to avoid paths with spaces).

It's straightforward to include Lua (not LUA) in Vim 7.3:
1. Install Lua: the usual Lua installation in Windows is luaforwindows,
http://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows . You'll need "Lua Module Development
files (libs and headers)". (Around 8Mb after installed.)
2. Compile: after installing Lua, just compile Vim with, say,
nmake -f Make_mvc.mak GUI=yes OLE=yes LUA=C:\Progra~1\Lua\5.1 DYNAMIC_LUA=yes
if using Visual Studio, or
mingw32-make -f Make_ming.mak GUI=yes OLE=yes LUA=C:\Progra~1\Lua\5.1
if using MinGW (DYNAMIC_LUA=yes by default). Of course, you can add your other
options for more features.
I think it'd be nice to have all language interfaces (/dyn) in the Windows
version of Vim, that is, to have Lua and MzScheme included. But I don't know
how hard it is to include MzScheme. Lua is easy; don't you agree, Bram? :)
Cheers,
Luis

That's (almost) how I do it.
Hmm, MzScheme; I would have included it in my builds if I had found a
native Win32 version. But I haven't, so i haven't. Any hints?

Racket is not compatible with the Vim makefiles which require mzScheme
libs explicitly.
