Congratulations on the release!

I'm interested in trying to port our code to llvm-lua. I have a couple
of questions:

1. We use Lua built as C++ (this means at least throwing exception
instead of calling longjump() in lua_error()). Does llvm-lua support
this?

2. We have many Lua states created and used in many threads (one state
is used by a single thread at a time). Would this work with llvm-lua?

Thanks,
Alexander.
