Re: LuaCheia and Kepler

Hi André!

I think I can speak for the LuaCheia team as whole that we are absolutly 
interested in working together with Kepler. Esp as we try to avoid 
re-inventing any wheels as far as possible. LuaCheia's recent move away 
from a custom Lua interpreter to a wrapper that uses standard Lua.c is 
exactly that.
Basically we try to build LuaCheia so that it's parts can be used by 
_any_ loadlib() enabled Lua-interpreter.

I'm not sure how well CGILua can be integrated in LuaCheia as I don't 
know much about it's achitecture (last CGILua is looked at must have ben 
3.2 based)
But I absolutly support being as compatible as possible.

I'm personally very interested in having a Lua httpd so I think working 
together here will be natural.

cheers, Martin
