[ANN] lua2c 0.2 - a Lua-to-C translator

[David Manura <dm.lua@...>]

This is to announce the first milestone release of lua2c.

lua2c converts a given Lua 5.1 source file into an equivalent C source file
written in terms of Lua C API calls.  It passes most of the Lua 5.1 test suite
(except for a few unimplemented features, mainly coroutines) and even compiles
itself.  Current performance is about 25%-75% of regular Lua, though future
versions might improve that via optimizations.  It is written entirely in Lua. 
One possible application is to allow seamless inlining of C code inside Lua
code, since Lua is converted to C, but you may find other novel uses, which I'd
like to hear about.
