Re: c side package creation

  Yes.  From some modules I've written [1]:

static const struct luaL_Reg reg_math[] =
{
  { "randomseed"        , math_randomseed },
  { "idiv"              , math_idiv       },
  { "div"               , math_div        },
  { NULL                , NULL            }
};

int luaopen_org_conman_math(lua_State *L)
{
  luaL_register(L,"org.conman.math",reg_math);
  return 1;
}

  Never had a problem.
