I've already explained the status of the LuaSDL on LuaForge to Leo 
in private e-mail, and the status is very clear in the README, and 
the code is there for everyone to study.

I've kept most of the platform-specific stuff in the tolua++ 
bindings and in #ifdef blocks, so the material can be adapted to 
other platform pretty quickly, if you know what to do. All you 
need to do it to fill in some blank areas. It's only at 0.3.3, so 
anyone who's interested is welcome to hack at it.

I've got most of my Ubuntu setup running with the SDL libraries, 
so I plan to work on Linux code shortly. I can't do MacOS, someone 
will have to contribute that. That said, LuaSDL is still in its 
very early stages and in a state of flux, so if anyone wants to 
use it seriously, the person had better know what he or she is 
doing -- I've made that very clear in the README.

For further LuaSDL-specific discussion, please take this off-list, 
better send me private e-mail. I'll set up a mailing list if 
required when there is more interest.
