Excellent.  I'll take a look into it.  I'll also probably look at
integrating Tcl which should be fairly easy if Lua's already supported.

The variables are shared across threads?  Perfect.

In the user-guide.pdf for 2.2.11, I don't see mention of the "GLOBAL"
keyword.  Is that only in the dev 3.x code, or is that in 2.2.11 and not
documented in the user guide?

Using a CLIENT/GO combo to implement the init block is a clever idea. 
I'll give that a try.

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the behavior correctly, but in a script
that contains both a CLIENT and DAEMON block, it seems like the FINALLY
block is being executed when the DAEMON block terminates, even though
the CLIENT block is still executing?  I was under the impression that
the FINALLY block should only evaluate when _all_ CLIENT/SERVER/DAEMON
blocks terminate?

I suppose I should start reading the test suite and the source and not
solely rely on the user-guide (which is fantastic, by the way).  Thanks
for the tips!
