Minimal C++ Gui library with Lua bindings and console. Write your plugins and gui's in C++.

Heavy Development: API's will break from time to time until the core system is ready. Plugin/UI templates are largely unchanged, but could radically change in terms of API.

Lui is intended to be used as a subproject by plugin developers.
