I was going to say something about a user-defined allocator, but the custom 
function doesn't have access to the Lua state, does it? That's too bad. I 
guess you could make the allocator userdata be a lua_State** and copy the 
state pointer into it after it's created. The pointer would be invalid when 
creating the state itself, of course.
