Me too. I probably have a few other things that I can see that benefits of 
Lua.

Your welcome!

I've checked out the source code and it compiled fine for me. 

I think that the include directory in 'Makefile.am' for Lua should be an 
parameter from the configurations script. You allready have this, don't you? 

It would be very nice if there was an ./configure --with-luajit as well, since 
that will give a good boost too. There is two things that needs to be changed 
to have this to work. 

First the include directory with the -DUSE_LUAJIT (for two more libraries to 
be loaded at startup: 'bit' and 'jit') and also the -llua5.1changed to 
-lluajit-5.1 in both 'Makefile.am' and 'OBJECTLIBS'.
