FYI, SDL is under the LGPL, so I imagine that extends to the "cleaned
headers" I made, using their headers, for use with tolua.

I think it's probably good for LuaCheia to have a default license, but
allow some license diversity among modules; otherwise we'll constantly
be wrestling with issues like this.  There's nothing in the
contemplated use of LuaCheia that would prevent having some LGPL'd or
GPL sub-parts, or that would cause the rest of the project to be
infected, AFAIK.
