Here is an improved version of Luna for Lua 5.0 that gives a metatable 
to the method table.  Also the method table is put in the table of 
globals to make it easy to access from scripts.  The __call metamethod 
is set to the 'new' method so that your scripts can still call the 
constructor as Account(100).  This is the same as Account:new(100).

Note the new version is called Lunar.h and it should be compatible with 
Luna.h
