[lttng-dev] GSoC 2013 idea: support a new language binding for lttng

[Xiaona Han]

Hi Yannick
   Thanks for your encouragement. I take a quick look at the source code of
lttng and find that lttng-tools has python bindings code. It means that
support Lua bindings mainly need finish the code, documentations and tests
for the lttng-tools. What about babeltrace? Do we need support  Lua
bindings for babeltrace APIs in this project?
