Thanks for the release.

Am I correct in assuming that in order to get 2.22, I now have to clone
the stable git repo? Or is there a tag? Or something else?
In the future, will there be more releases, or should I just (regularly)
update the git clone? And in the latter case: does the makefile handle
changes intelligently (i.e., it only rebuilds what has actually changed,
instead of the whole tree)?

I encountered one of these when starting to build packages after a git
clone of stable.
`make gcc` succeeded as expected (with dependencies).
A subsequent `make lua` failed with the following error:

make[2]: Verlasse Verzeichnis '/opt/mxe-stable/tmp-lua/lua-5.1.4'
sed -i 's,^prefix=.*,prefix=/opt/mxe-stable/usr/i686-pc-mingw32,'

install -m644 '/opt/mxe-stable/tmp-lua/lua-5.1.4/etc/lua.pc'

angelegt werden: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
make[1]: *** [build-only-lua] Fehler 1
make[1]: Verlasse Verzeichnis '/opt/mxe-stable'

It turned out that /opt/mxe-stable/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig/
did not exist (and hence `install ...` failed). I'm not sure, though, if
this is a problem in MXE itself or in src/lua.mk.
