We have. But we've decided to re-investigate it again because the person 
on my development team who is in charge of scripting and data management 
hasn't had very much time to spare these days, and we really want to get 
the ball rolling with our scripting interface so other parts of our 
project can move forward. Currently this is all we have:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/allacrost/module_00/src/data.h?rev=1.12&view=auto
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/allacrost/module_00/src/data.cpp?rev=1.19&view=auto

It allows us to retrieve data from Lua files and we already know how to 
implement support for calling Lua functions from C++, but we're having 
difficulty understanding how to expose C++ classes to Lua so that class 
members may be read and modified with ease. It just seems like it would 
be a smarter move at this point to build upon work that's already been 
done rather than try and do things ourselves from scratch. But even if 
we were to not use a binding library, I would still have interest in 
this topic. :)
