The main purpose is to maintain a posix module for lua. lposix is
unmaintained. Patches have been submitted to this list for years but non
have entered lposix and there is no sign for a release of lposix for
lua-5.1.x.
I didn't want to fork. I asked to take over maintainership and got
response "its public domain, do what you want".
A need for syslog features helped me to allocate some time and actually
do something about it.
