The only thing we want it for is event handling.  This includes 
client-side tutorials, modpacks, and scripting in general.

We could write our own system for this.  But it would end up being 
basically like lua: a super-simple interpretive language written in C. 
Using lua is better than that, at least.  Read over the forum discussion 
to see what sort of event actions are needed.
