[cfe-dev] Plugin to generate Lua bindings

[John Thompson]

Hi Doug, Chris, John, et. all,

Any thoughts on making this a sample?

I will probably rewrite it to avoid some of the collected state.  I've
enclosed an updated version that now binds enums too.

This would require embedding the Lua sources in the Clang tree, which they
probably wouldn't want.  But I could embed some sample files to be bound,
tests, and perhaps the glue for the Lua stuff, such that a person would just
have to plug in the Lua code somewhere.
