It's there, but running that say's
mflua-nowin:./.libs/lt-call_mflua.c:236: FATAL: couldn't find mflua-nowin.
I have no idea what is happening. Maybe I will have a look at it later
if it's a problem.

Yeah, I have removed that failing format.

It would be really nice to have one!
Also, another problem I found was that `ffi` module in `texlua.exe` was
causing a crash(Segmentation Fault) on i686 mingw32. That made the
`runscript.exe` in turn to SegFault. What I did was to change `texlua`
to `texluajit` where things seem to work but it is only a temporary fix.
See this patch[0]. Where can I report this problem?
