more modular scripts

[Enno Rehling <enno@...>]

I am loading a bunch of user-scripts from a list of files, and I'm 
wondering how to keep them from messing with each other. If I have two 
scripts defining the same identifier in the globals table (like two 
functions called action(), or two variables called size), One of those 
scripts is going to puke.

I suppose there's no easy way to do this, other than run each in its own 
lua_state, but I'm just going to ignore my intuition and ask anyway: How 
do others solve this?

Enno.
