Description

Let's be honest here: our plugin API is great. But woulnd't it be great if we didn't just expose it to C/C++ but also to a script language, like Lua?
I think it would be cool if an admin (I think they are be our main target group here) could hack up a couple of lines of Lua script and already have a great (prototype of a) plugin.
