But this is very Windows specific. The wrappers exist for all scripts in
a distribution, so I feel the user have to refer to his distribution
documentation to see how to run such a script. BTW, "luatex(.exe)
mkluatexfontdb.lua" will also work (if the input file has a .lua
extension then luatex will act as texlua.)
