Most APIs in C have an alternate entry point for each variadic function
which accepts a pointer to a list of arguments instead of an argument
list. In fact, most variadic functions are just wrappers which call
these "worker" functions. For examples in the C standard library, see
the documentation for vsprintf and vscanf.

If the API with which you are working provides this option, it would be
a relatively simple task to bundle your Lua arguments into an array and
call the "v" flavor function.
