That seems like a good idea, I will look for libraries in LUA_PATH, but also
in LUA_LIBPATH in case someone wants to put libraries in a different
directory.

I've uploaded here a first version of the addon here:
http://talika.fie.us.es/~titan/lua/

Feel free to criticise. It has not been extensively tested, tomorrow I will
try to write a simple library and some examples of its use.

The platform dependant code is isolated in a few macros and definitions, so
that if someone wants to port it to a different platform only has to touch a
few lines of code.
