in the real (.h)  header file, you can mark pieces of code to be processed
by tolua,
using the labels "tolua_begin" and "tolua_end". For instance:

...
//tolua_begin
struct Message
{
 enum {
  FIRST=1,
  SECOND,
  THIRD
 };

 void hello ()
 {
  cout << "hello world" << endl;
 }
};
//tolua_end
...

then, you instruct tolua to interpret this file, including in the .pkg
file:

...
${filename.h}
...

No. For relational operators, Lua now supports tag method for the "less
than" only,
and so now does tolua.
