Features of LuaCheia are:
* Portable and ported to Apple OS X, POSIX/X Window System and Microsoft
Windows platforms. Use GNU autoconf to support automatic building on a wide
variety of systems.
* Standard binary distributions for the supported platforms. One-stop
shopping for users interested in experimenting with Lua, or using it for
general-purpose scripting.
* Modularity. Only a very small core is mandatory, which is essentially the
stock official Lua 5 distribution with bug patches. LuaCheia is implemented
as a wrapper and bootscript around the normal stand-alone Lua executable.
The wrapper can easily be pointed at a modified Lua interpreter if you like
to experiment with the core itself.
* Incorporate many different useful libraries.
* Libraries are loaded dynamically so the core stays small.
* Ample, standardized documentation (partly TODO).
