Along the same lines but with a twist: why not just bind Lua to the Apache
Portable Runtime (APR) [1]? It is light weight and supported for a wide
range of platforms.
The same question could be asked for binding Lua to Netscape Portable
Runtime (NSPR) [2].
In both cases it is a non-trivial effort for sure; as I see quite a few
people interested in having a common runtime the work could be divided and
conquered.
If there is any kind of interest in this line of thought and if there was a
vote, I would vote to go with APR.
Cheers,
