I've just started looking at lua and whether that would be a good 
replacement for our own scripting. I started by looking at coroutines and a 
simple scheduler and ran across the same issue of serializing the state for 
savegames. Are there any good examples on how to traverse the lua stack and 
find my C pointers to do the serialization? I'd be thankful for a few 
pointers :-)
