Luna is simple, but not easy. luna is also just a proof-of-concept 
implementation, not a fully supported product.

I use luabind on a project here at work, and it's a really cool library. You 
need boost to develop, but your client doesn't need to have that installed.

Lots of template code mean three drawbacks (but every C++ library has those 
to some degree:
1. Large debug symbols
2. Longer compile times
3. More difficult to read compiler errors.

But you get an extremely intuitive, easy-to-use and as far as I see, 
efficient way to wrap your C++ classes. I don't think there's anything better.

Enno.
