Hi,

There is something wrong with the lua macro as the configure script
passes the lua test with "--with-lua=/usr/include" value but the
compilation will however fail.

I saw we could use pkg-config and at the first look, the macro is not
using it.

If I have the time this week, I'll check this one.
One question though : Can we imagine enabling lua option by default if
found on the system?


Regards,
Sebastien Tandel
