I was throwing some opinions into the ring, based on Ken's
interest in "what ifs" with respect to CMake and Lua. If you say
you are only investigating this strategically, just treat my idea
bubble as a burst bubble. To those who wish to be pedantic about
things, I won't get in their way, but I don't think it makes for a
very productive discussion.

I have put in my 2 cents, so I will not be posting to this thread
any further.
