Yeah, you are correct. I was quite surpirsed at how small the pacth was, as
the last time I worked on doing this, the patch was too large for the list,
and had to be approved by specially approved.

I did not change those files (as far as I can remember). I might have 
renamed one or two of them, but I doubt it.
Note that it is possible that I added other new files, so if there is a 
problem, let me know.

Suggested action: Delete all Lua 4 files, and all tolua++ files (including 
those in ./tools).
Then re-add files from tolua++ and lua 5.1 as requested by the 
Makefile.ac's.

If after doing that and applying the partial patch it does not compile 
without error, please let me know.
If all else fails I can create a Berlios account, somebody can add me to the 
project, and I can upload the changes to a new svn branch.

Please let me now how progress with the patch comes. The main thing needed 
is updating the lua scripts. Once you get to the point where a level can 
load we will see if my code related to userdata magicvally works. If it does 
not I suspect that lua.cc will note an error, and/or a segfault.

I'm not really a Lua programmer, so I can't work on updating the Scripts, 
but I try to debug any userdata problems. My problem before was trying to 
see if there would be problems by reading the code, as I was not yet able to 
test that code. If push came to shove, I could recode lua.cc to never touch 
userdata directly, but to interact with userdata only via tolua++. Obviously 
tolua++ will not have any problem with compatability with itself.
In the long run, that is probably a good idea anyway.
