+/* embed.c a simple test for an embeded 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 wrappered 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
