Re: extending lua load path

[Oliver Mueller <oliver.mueller@...>]

Duncan's solution would work for exactly the scenario I described in
my post...but unfortunately this is not general enough for me. I don't
know the path of "scripts" in advance (depends on where the user
decides to store her scripts) so I cannot hard code it into the
script. I'd need to expand the load path with the path of the
directory from which the first lua file is loaded.
