I wish someone had taken the time instead to integrate the Lua fork by 
mooffie. Unfortunately he wasn't up to maintaining his work of a genius 
(no kidding) and we don't have resources to take it over.

In as far as S-Lang scripting is concerned, it's definitively easy to bolt 
it on, but I really wouldn't want to live with the resulting mess. Our 
code base is already in a shape bad enough...

Sebastian, if you are motivated and have time to do some serious work on 
mc, maybe we should talk about a vision first?

It doesn't make sense to me for you invest your valuable time only to get 
your patches criticized or rejected or just rotting on the tracker without 
any feedback. If we can agree on a direction, then I think it will be good 
for all of us, if we can't - at least it will be good for you, because 
then you can spare your time arguing with us and directly setup a fork 
instead... :-)
