Non conflicting Lua naming in patch

["Thierry@spoludo" <thierry@...>]

‎Starting another thread instead of hijacking...

Well it's true that combining several patches is likely to conflict anyway, but it wouldn't hurt if the wiki page recommends a naming convention being maybe something like using

%sLua 
#ifndef LUA_VARIANT
#define LUA_VARIANT "my"
#endif

or whatever to at least avoid this conflict and raise the patcher awareness that he shall name his flavor of Lua... 
But well I remember also questioning myself about what to set in the copyright.

While we are at it we should get everyone to agree to the same coding style! Seriously though, that would never work.

As I said in a previous post, it is the people applying the patches that are the ones creating new versions of Lua, not the patch creators. So they should be responsible for naming their new variant of Lua.
