Hi,

I like the LUA language, actually It's me who add it in the first
place. Some of  the purpose is detection of OS items at runtime, and
interaction with graphic menu system.  And honestly, I'm not happy
with it being removed from main repository as this make it harder to
maintain.

But no worry, I've created a fork project BURG that contains some
brand-new features, the LUA engine will be added back soon.
