You can start with my alarm library. See
	http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/

Multiple timers will have to be dispatched through a single timer handlerr.

The main technique used in my alarm library is setting up a Lua hook when
the alarm is triggered. This is also used for handling ^C interruptions
in lua.c.
