Hi.

To make extending mailfront easier, I want to write a plugin linking to
an extension language.  This would fill the same role as the "mailrules"
plugin does now, just allowing for much more flexable rules.

Obviously, writing my own mini-language would just make things more
complex.  Reuse, particularly in this case, is good.  What would people
prefer for the language?  I would strongly prefer something that has a
very fast startup time, preferably requiring no external files (ruling
out the likes of Python).

I've been looking at Lua, does anybody have experience with using it or
problems with it?  It seems to provide all the necessary bits.
