Having studied tolua for a couple of days, it has certainly given
me some ideas how to implement C++-interaction with lua. Unfortunately
noone has ported tolua to the upcoming lua version 4, which I need in
my project. Anyone working on that? Right now I don't have the time
to do the port, I'm pretty tied up with other projects...

Anyway, tolua has been of great help when doing the interfaces, thanks!
