Joel,
>+ Is this unmodified Lua source code?  Is it trackable back to a Lua release?

There are some slight modifications of the 5.1.4 source code.  The one major
change is in the library function that references clock, as it uses a macro
that is not defined in RTEMS, so I had to change it to use the macro defined in
RTEMS.  All other changes are minor, and stem from trying to find a naming
conflict.  I can start undoing those.


>+ If it is modified, can the changes be submitted to Lua?
I'm not sure if it is really necessary.  All of the changes were changes
necessary to get it working in RTEMS.

>+ If it is modified, can we merge the original code and then apply patches so
we can track the changes.
I can work on this part.


Ralf,
I agree with what you are saying about keeping Lua separate.  It's something
that maybe not everyone really needs or wants.  If we keep it hosted elsewhere,
it will have to either have to be the patched version (or maybe just be the
patch).  Getting it to work with automake/conf is straight forward, but I'm not
sure if patch can make the changes necessary to accomplish it.
