well.. that (might) be usefull, but I think that depends on wether the
modifications are "maintainable" (as far as I can "see", the current
Monkey Island 4 demo still uses Lua 3.1 alpha, so they might have
"trouble" upgrading to a newer lua because of the deep modifications
they made).

I don't know (yet).
