/* Should be a Lua skang module, roughly the same as test.lua

Seems to be several problems with linking in various OSes, here's some
possibly helpful links -

/* local test_c = require 'test_c'

Lua's require() function will strip any stuff from the front of the name
separated by a hyphen, so 'ClientHamr-GuiLua-test_c' -> 'test_c'.  Then
it will search through a path, and eventually find this test_c.so (or
test_c.dll or whatever), then call luaopen_test_c(), which should return
a table.  The argument (only thing on the stack) for this function will
be 'test_c'.

Normally luaL_register() creates a table of functions, that is the table
returned, but we want to do something different with skang.

//    LUA_GLOBALSINDEX - thread environment, where globals are
//    LUA_ENVIRONINDEX - C function environment, in this case luaopen_test_c() is the C function
//    LUA_REGISTRYINDEX - C registry, global, for unique keys use the module name as a string, or a lightuserdata address to a C object in our module.
//    lua_upvalueindex(n) - C function upvalues

// All modules go into package.loaded[name] as well.
