99 Bottles of Beer On The Wall

[Bennett Todd <bet@...>]

I just noticed that Lua wasn't represented in the "99 Bottles of Beer on the
Wall" compendium at [1]. I'm not a Lua expert by any means:-) --- this is the
first program I've actually written in Lua. Yowza. I just sent this
contribution off to the maintainer. Any suggestions from you all, that would
make it clearer, or safer, or better, or more idiomatic Lua?
