My solution is to have each scriptable entity create (from C) a table,
and call a Lua initialization routine with this new table as a parameter.
This function looks like:

function InitMonkey(table)
  table.on_hit=function(monkey)
    PlaySound("squeak")
  end
  -- and so on, you have a lot of predefined responses in global
  -- functions which you then assign to various table.<foo>
end
