My requests would be:
1. Keep going! Lua is great.
2. Please can you consider version compatibility a bit more; whilst
the language itself is stable, the API seems to change quite a lot and
it's quite complicated to figure out what version is installed. e.g
during a ./configure of a client program. The files always lua.h and
liblua.a, even though it may be version 4, 5, 5.1, ... I think some of
your more recent changes are a definite improvement (e.g. #define-ing
a version number in the header)
