handling utf8 strings in lua

[Tiago Dionizio <tngd81@...>]

Hi,

If anyone is interested, i made available a module to handle utf-8 
strings from lua, having the exact same interface that the base library 
*string* uses.

The original motivation when writing it, was to be able to manipulate 
utf-8 strings taken from an unicode gui who passes strings to lua 
without having to convert a string to a specific character set and 
possibly losing information in that conversion.

Module is located at 
http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~tngd/lua/lustring-0.1.tar.gz - there is no 
documentation, interface is similar to the string base library.
If there is enough interest i may consider creating an entry on lua forge.

Regards,
Tiago
