FWIW, I have a lua package, and (at one point in time) had permission to
add to FC from notting. What is needed is someone more well versed in 
lua than I
to design the file tree for attaching lua extensions, kinda like 
/usr/lib*/python2.4.

You really don't want me making that call, it make no more send than 
having a C
programmer design python bindings. I can certainly invent something that 
is not
too surprising, but ...

And credit where credit is due: Gustavo Niemeyer did the implementation 
of lua
into rpm, and supplied me with most of what I know about Lua.
