/* embed2.c some more test for an embeded interpreter

 

This will go a bit further as it will pass values to and from the lua code.

It uses less of the SWIG code, and more of the raw lua API's

 

What it will do is load the wrappered lib, load runme.lua and then call some functions.

To make life easier, all the printf's have either [C] or [Lua] at the start

so you can see where they are coming from.

 

We will be using the luaL_dostring()/lua_dostring() function to call into lua
