   I'm working with CE1.0, but as I recall, there wasn't much of a change
   in the standard I/O between 1.0 and 2.0. 

   In general, most of the stdio functionality needed doesn't vary much
   from platform to platform(with the exception of FILE functions). 
   Does anyone know of an open source basic stdio library that might
   work well with Lua that we could use to make a more complete generic
   Lua stdio? This should also help with other embedded systems.

   Definitely, i'd appreciate it. The two big places i'm getting bogged
   down are the sscanf/sprintf variants and the FILE functions.

   Heh, the lament of the modern software engineer.. ;-)
