Re: print and lua conf

At the same time, could you make the output from print.c use a similar mechanism please? It would be useful to redirect listing output without having to modify the code.

Lua 5.2 will provide a macro in luaconf.h for outputting strings via print.
The default will be this:

/*
@@ luai_writestring defines how 'print' prints its results. 
** CHANGE it if your system does not have a useful stdout.
*/ 
#define luai_writestring(s,l)	fwrite((s), sizeof(char), (l), stdout)
