RE: tolua bug?

["Nick Trout" <nick@...>]

There are a number of bugs in tolua5a. There are also problems with
renaming (@) objects and name conflicts. You could look back through the
lua-l archives for more details. It would be nice if someone were to fix
these problems as tolua's author seems to have gone AWOL.
