Can you give us a hint about what the C does compared to the Lua? If
it's just a wrapper then perhaps C (your lib) to C (libuv) is the best
bet? If the Lua is more involved, then perhaps Fengari or Luvit might
be more applicable? Fengari looks like a nice straight line (however
note the missing section:
https://github.com/fengari-lua/fengari#missing-features) and might be
the easiest to test.
