	I am very sorry. The correct location is in lua-users.org site, not 
LuaForge:

@ Lua Users: http://lua-users.org/wiki/LibrariesAndBindings
Direct link: http://www.matrix44.de/lua/


	BTW, I can send you what I am using. It is not pretty but works nice. 
It looks more like Lua at least. (I'm not saying that the ScriptVision 
isn't good. It looks promissing too).

	What I have is: A simple object (not class) that holds most standard 
Lua functions. It's use is simple:

with TLuaObject(L) do // Could be "with LuaAsObject(L) do"
begin
    PushString('name');
    PushNumber(1)
    SetTable();

    SetNamedNumber('name2',1.99);
end;

(I believe that there are no performance penalties as it is just a 
typecast after all)


	And there is a simple binding system between Delphi (RTTI) and Lua. It 
is based in a definition file (.lua file) which describes your classes, 
methods, enums etc. And a script (also .lua) that converts that 
definition into a .pas file. If I am not wrong, it is much like ToLua 
(except that ToLua reads a 'cleaned' header file).

	I started to work into a DCU reader that would automatically read all 
compiler generated code and export the definitions to that intermediate 
format, but I haven't finished it because I had more important things to do.

Again, my apologizes for the LuaPas location mistake :(
