That's a nice tool.  Thanks.

I started the Ada 95 binding tonight and although it doesn't do very 
much (just creates a state, loads the libs and fires some strings at lua 
ala the book), it's nice to see it working and it's not as bad as I'd 
feared (some c libs are really painful to bind to, but this is a doddle).
