Lua scripting for Gtk without gobject introspection, similar to eww, useful for prototyping

This started out as a simple program to show custom keyboards (the test.lua example is a custom keyboard for newsboat) that could be useful on a touchscreen but is now going in the general direction of Eww (This project is far away from what Eww can do).

The API is a bit more powerful than documented in the README, it's probably best to look at the examples and the sourcecode to find out what else can be done. I once wrote a prototype for a notification display that actually worked (notifications got fed in via stdin).
