Re: Lua libraries

[jim@...]

A .c config sounds cool. It seems though that there may be more 
modification (in some cases on some external libs) than a .c can handle.
Maybe somebody needs to work on a enhanced distro that sits
on the wiki site or something.. one person makes the changes and 
everyone else benefits. ? Regardless, your trying to solve a very tough
problem... Lua by nature is so versatile it's working against you. :) good luck! 

Regards,
Jim

| config.c file whose contents is #included into the initialisation
| function.
| 
| A tiny little bit of extra mechanism that simplifies building. config.c
