I should say that all I really understood is the subject 'Values
passed into lua_newstate()', in which case I have an interpretation
for 'how to get a hold of these pointers', the rest of your message is
cryptic to me.
The answer to my interpretation of your question is lua_getallocf(),
that is how you get a hold of the values passed into lua_newstate().
If that's not what you want, you will probably have to reformulate your problem.
