 Now you know how to initialise CEGUI with the Lua scripting module.
 More tutorials will follow soon with more advanced topics.

+As these libraries were difficult (or impossible) to find in working precompiled versions, I decided to include them with the scripting module.
 When using CEGUI with a scripting module a lot of the interface programming can be replaced by scripts, these script can be modified and used without recompling your program, thus leave more time for tweaking your UI instead of waiting for your compiler to finish.
