Why not just ONE of each module?? (Re: Lua binding for d-bus?)

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

As a generic comment, I think it would finally be time for Lua  
community to develop this kind of modules in an organized fashion.

There's so many of them. D-BUS. Cairo. SDL. Multiple incompatible and  
partial modules instead of a One that would be co-managed by the  
community.

I think this is where we go wrong, and which keeps Lua back as a  
language.
