About two years ago I used tolua++ to try to integrate Lua with some
QT3/QT4 GUI programs.  The tool works well but the design is
complexity piled on complexity---very not Lua-like.  But as long as
you don't peek under the covers to see what is happening there, the
tool works well and is reasonably pleasant to use.

I have no experience of toluaxx.

If I were doing something small I'd code it by hand.
