Re: Luabind adapted to Lua 5.2

that's great news !
Do you intend to keep on improving luabind ? Don't know if you noticed
but I tried to use C++11 templates instead of boost macros. That was
for fun but if a guy is serious about luabind dev, that might improve
perf.

Kudos to Ryan Pavlik too for maintaining his branch.
