* Renamed SWIG_Lua_equal to SWIG_Lua_class_equal
* If class has no __eq implemented, then default __eq is provided.
Default __eq compares actual pointers stored inside Lua userdata
1) Static members and static functions inside class can be accessed as ModuleName.ClassName.FunctionName (MemberName respectively). Old way aka ModuleName.ClassName_FunctionName still works.
2) Same goes for enums inside classes: ModuleName.ClassName.EnumValue1 etc.
3) More 'runme' tests for lua + modifications to existing tests to test new changes.
Code is loosely based upon python implemenation of the same thing.
Patch #62.
