Nice to see. However, there are more recent Lua bindings in the
ExternalBindings wiki page:

http://live.gnome.org/Vala/ExternalBindings?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=lua5.1.vapi

I guess they were not attached as patch in the Bugzilla bug report. The
wiki examples work with these bindings, which provide the following
improvements:

- Use constructor instead of open()
- Valafied method names
- Bindings to constants (as enums)
- additional method bindings
- use 'unowned' instead of 'weak'
- use 'bool' instead of 'int' where appropriate
- rename lua.vapi to lua5.1.vapi, so that it works with pkg-config
