Re: I developed a generator for binding Lua.

[Masayuki Fukushiro <fukushirom@...>]

Thank you Lua team members for the release of Lua 5.4.0.
I've renamed LuaMango to LuaStick, because I found a similar name
project 'MangoLua'.
And it supports Lua 5.4.0. I've confirmed it works on Windows.

Thanks.
