I don't want to discourage anyone, testers are wellcome!

The API might not the be definitive one, the documentation is at an
embryonic stage (http://wiki.ethereal.com/Lua), We don't build it yet
under windows. Negative testing has not yet being performed, so you
caan expect a crash if things are not done in the ortodox way (whose
doctrine hasn't even been written)

Under UN*X if you have lua-5.0.2 installed you can ./configure
--with-lua and buid it. It is a prototype but it could do the job.

I'm available to help (and fix bugs).
