	I'm using Lua as a scripting language for a renderer I'm writing
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtuality/). I've chosen Lua because
it'll allow me to both describe the scenes, using the table constructs,
and write custom shaders just like RenderMan.
	Currently I've coded just a few primitives (Sphere, Box, Torus,
Plane, Triangle, Cylinder) and I'm writing the code to support Lua
shaders.
