I don't think it is really necessary to change their file names nor 
their file names extension, just as it is not necessary to change the 
lib*.c32 file name extension. The Lua-related modules are located 
under the "lua/" subdirectory in the Syslinux official distribution 
archives.

Instead, adding documentation (for example in the Syslinux wiki) 
about the Lua-related modules could be helpful IMHO.

Thank you,
Ady.
