Well, not windows. I've tried it with various versions of gcc
on linux and freebsd, and to some limited extent on mac os x,
where it performs less well.

I agree, there are limitations, particularly with respect to
destructors. Of course, C doesn't have destructors at all,
and I tend to use Lua itself to manage memory resources,
at least.
