Personnaly, I prefer :

LUAELALIB_API int luaopen_mylib(lua_State *L) {
	lua_newtable(L);
	luaL_register(L, NULL, mylib);
	return 1;
}

Then, if you profice others luaopen_* functions, you can easily change
the name of your module just by renaming the file.

You can also do tat in the lua modules because the lua module name is
passed as parameter.
	module((...), package.seeall)

Something Idon't like about the module() functiuon is that this
functiuon creates a global table that contains the module.
I prefer when no global table is created, then, the global environment
is always clean and you know what you put in there.
Any thoughts about that ?
