Summary: Lua typemaps fail with gcc 4.x

Initial Comment:
The lua, typemaps.i defines

#ifdef __cplusplus	/* generic alloc/dealloc fns*/
#define SWIG_ALLOC_ARRAY(TYPE,LEN) 	new (TYPE)[LEN]
#define SWIG_FREE_ARRAY(PTR)		if(PTR){delete[] PTR;}
#else
#define SWIG_ALLOC_ARRAY(TYPE,LEN) 	(TYPE *)malloc(LEN*sizeof(TYPE))
#define SWIG_FREE_ARRAY(PTR)		if(PTR){free(PTR);}
#endif

However, 

new (TYPE)[LEN] 

is not permitted in GCC 4.x.  It should read

new TYPE[LEN]

I'm not sure if this is backwards compatible though.
