Of course. I did not mean to imply that "svn add" and "svn delete"
should not be used. Those instructions I gave was simply to end up with a 
tree like
the one I happen to have.

At this time I do not have a Berlios account. If I do create one I will let 
you know.

I have no real opinion. I'm fairly confident that tolua++ ones will work.
However if the non-tolua++ ones work fine then there is absolutely no reason
to change except for consistancy. Since Daniel is in change it is obviously
his choice what to do. Hopefully the slightly modified lua.cc code will 
work.
The main challenge is to update all the scripts that use %upvalues, and 
anyhting
else that does not happen to work with lua5.
