The installer doesn't wipe the bin tree. In windows you can have the dll 
in some system path too and there's also

   package.extralibpath("d:/Lukas/Lua/54")

or you can add stuff to the configuration file. I admit that I haven't 
tested that in a while (I only occasionally use(d) the mysql library but 
either with ffi (mkiv) or with the built in one (lmtx), not some 
external lua specific wrapper).

The mentioned tracker shows you all the places where libs are searched.
