/* embed.c a simple test for an embedded interpreter
The idea is that we wrapper a few simple function (example.c)
and write our own app to call it.
What it will do is load the wrapped lib, load runme.lua and then call some functions.
To make life easier, all the printf's have either [C] or [Lua] at the start
so you can see where they are coming from.
We will be using the luaL_dostring()/lua_dostring() function to call into lua
