Hi Erwan,

You can pull the current state from here:
git pull git://linux.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/syslinux.git luaext
The current state is:
- VESA:
- switching to vesa mode works
- loading/displaying images works
- display text works
(s. com32/lua/test/vesa.lua)
- PCI:
- list PC devices + ID
- get human-readable device name for device
(s. com32/lua/test/pci.lua)
- DMI:
- get DMI info (BIOS, Hardware, etc).
(s. com32/lua/test/dmi.lua)
- syslinux:
- loading files, kernel, initrd
- start kernel, initrd, local boot
... just working on this, so no example lua file right now

The test cases I wrote about should be working, however I'm still struggling
with some internal issues of lua: type checking, and (something I have
no idea about right now:) garbage collection.
I'd also like to activate the floating point library of lua ... but I
didn't have time
to take a closer look.
Next (planned) steps are:
- documentation:
- I started some documentation in asciidoc (com32/lua/doc/syslinux.asc)
but it's very basic right now
- TODO:
- (more) examples
- initramfs handling:
- listing/adding files
- graphics library:
- basic functions: setpixel, line, circle, ...
- maybe sometime in the far future; support for more/all VESA modes

Most of the test cases I can currently think of are implemented in the
sample lua files - so feel free to play with them, and drop me a line
if something does not work as expected.
