That was definitely a mistake. Originally I planned NOT to include the 
headers, because this "distro" was targeted at almost complete newbies 
in programming. I assumed they would want Lua to program in Lua the 
language, not in C using its API, so I wanted to keep it simple. But 
upon better reflection I changed my mind because (1) I ended up building 
a "non-standard" distro, (2) even newbies could want to learn the API 
after a while. The omissions then stemmed from me doing the work at late 
hours! :-)

I'm sorry but, in a previous message I asked people not to edit the page 
yet until I removed the "work in progress header", so when I "committed" 
my final version and removed the header I didn't check whether someone 
else had actually done any editing and I ended up steamrolling your and 
Mateusz Czaplinksi's edits.

Sorry for the misunderstanding! I'll reinsert your changes again as soon 
as possible. I'm working on it right now.
