I think your question could equally be "how to integrate Lua and
C/C++?".  I would definitely pick up the Programming in Lua book if
you don't already have it.  I guess the only potential difference
between a straight C/C++ embedding and a game embedding would be the
need to sandbox your Lua environment.  There are a number of good past
threads on this issue, so the mailing list will probably be your best
resource.
