A great SDL binding, of course ;-). And that's right, maybe we should 
update the version present in LuaCheia.

Wow! Asko, I didn't notice that a I never wondered how to disable 
modules... Great! With LuaCheia you can do a similar thing when 
building:

  $ ./configure --enable-modules=SDL   # Only builds the 'SDL' module
  $ ./configure --enable-modules=SDL,rex  # Only builds the 'SDL' and 
'rex' modules

...and so on. If you're going to use LuaCheia I strongly suggest to 
obtain the latest version from CVS, as the source packages available at 
SourceForge are pretty outdated, plus the latest releases from CVS are 
moving towards the "new" module packaging framework that will be 
featured with Lua 5.1

If you don't know wether to use LuaX or LuaCheia, I would suggest to 
try both and decide which solution you feel more comfortable with, but 
I'm sure that the newer version of the SDL module in LuaX (and the fact 
that it's being developed more actively, afaik) means that it has some 
nifty features you might want to use.

Cheers.
