Subject: lua9: lua interpreter with plan9 bindings

Hi,

Building on the lua port by staalmannen (http://github.com/staalmannen/lua), I wrote a custom version of the lua interpreter including bindings to some plan9 libraries.
I feel that lua is a simple (and good enough) scripting language which makes writing GUI code more convenient than in C.
For the time being, this includes bindings for libdraw but I plan to extend this to other plan9 libraries in the future (libplumb for instance).

The code along with documentation and samples is available here:
http://github.com/telephil9/lua9

Suggestions or contributions are welcome.

Regards,
Philippe
