hey,

this looks great, except that i need to do it the other way round (i 
think?) - the lua script needs to call c++ code, rather than c++ code 
operating on the lua library directly. we're using hyperion, so i'm not 
directly invoking the lua code; what we have instead are fragments of 
lua script embedded into xml files ..

err, actually looking into it i don't think i'm going to be able to run 
an OSC server with Hyperion's particular flavour of Lua-ness -- i'd need 
to be able to spawn a new thread to act as the server, which is possibly 
pushing lua/hyperion a little too far.

aargh.
