Lua C++ libraries comparision.

[Nahuel Greco <ngreco@...>]

Hi, im choosing the addon to use Lua with C++, i found these in the addons
page: Tolua,Not-tolua,Luna,Script (there is another?). I want to do a table
with the features of each one, to help me choose.
Can you help me to fill it? :) (with yes, no, n/a, and 10%,20%, etc)

See this table in a fixed width font:
