[syslinux] [GIT] Lua running as a com32 syslinux module

[Alexey Zaytsev]

Hi.

If anyone is interested, here is a working prototype:

http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/xl0/syslinux-lua.git;a=summary

Os, io and math libraries are not compiled right now. Also, there are
no bindings for any syslinux functions. Otherwise, everything should
work just fine, like

I've got no plans working on this stuff in the foreseeable future, so,
if you've got an idea how this might be useful,.. you know how
git-clone works. ;)
