Ann: LuaSDL resurrected, at 0.3.0

[Kein-Hong Man <keinhong@...>]

Hi all,

[First and final announcement for LuaSDL on this list]

http://www.luaforge.net/projects/luasdl/

LuaSDL is a [mostly] tolua++ binding for the SDL, SDL_image, 
SDL_mixer, SDL_net and SDL_ttf libraries for Lua 5.1. It 
supersedes Thatcher Ulrich's LuaSDL, which is no longer actively 
worked upon. I have also obtained permission from Thatcher Ulrich 
to use the name, so this is not a coup d'etat. :-)

Since there are a whole bunch of similar OSS scripting frameworks, 
some very powerful, it will be pointless to push LuaSDL into that 
territory. Instead, LuaSDL is a minimal system, with a codebase 
that uses the same kind of license as Lua 5.

Version 0.3.0 is a [mostly] working binding for Win32 (MinGW), but 
the codebase itself is cross-platform. Linux binaries are a gleam 
in the eye for now. Thatcher Ulrich's Meteor Shower is included, 
and most of SDL, SDL_image, SDL_mixer and SDL_ttf works. The 
aliens SDL demo has also been ported to LuaSDL. Not everything has
been straightened out yet; feedback welcome.
