on c++, only classes (and structs) with a constructor will have a 'new()' 
method.. You can add the constructor on your pkg (even if it's not actually 
implemented).
For C structs the only solution I can think of is to have a function that 
creates a new struct and returns it. example:

CCLIB_START_STRUCT* get_new_CCLIB_START_STRUCT(char* lib_name="");

you can have default parameters for C functions on tolua, so you can also 
use it to get the struct alredy initialized.
