The above solution will actually work fine for me.
Thanks a lot.

Also I was wondering if someone has already written (and would
graciously like to share)
some kind of lua add-on that would enable us to dynamically load object
files.
The reason I need this is that some functions are too time consuming to
be implemented
in lua hence it would be nice to be able to write them in c/c++ and
somehow make the
compiled object "dynamically" visible to lua.
