Lua is only as useful as the library functions provided with it.
There's a couple of .c32 modules with library functions that'd
make a nice start if ported to lua.

I'd like to see lua included in mainline syslinux: it's been there in a
(mostly unknown) git branch for quite some time now, and I hope
releasing it to a wider public will increase its user base and speed
up development.
