I'm also having some problems, which I think are different to your
problems. Mine relate to function overloading and renaming. I posted a
mail to Waldemar a week or so ago and haven't heard anything.

If you overload functions, e.g. in a .pkg

	void foo2 @ foo (int x, int y);
      void foo3 @ foo (int x, int y, int z);

You should be able to call foo(x,y) or foo(x,y,z) from Lua and toLua
tries each of the above overloads to find one that fits. However the
binding generation code generates the delegation call from the name of
the current function, not from the original function name. This is to a
none existent function and the code doesn't compile. (See
http://doris.sf.net CVS for details)

I suppose this is a little inefficient and it may be better to not use
renaming, however this worked under toLua4a.
