It's not a binding, just a c++ library.

QtLua is a set of c++ base classes designed to make it easy to expose and
manage c++ objects from Lua in Qt applications. Lua script only see what is
dynamically exposed by the Qt meta object system and what you choose to expose
in your c++ code.

If you plane to develop a Qt application using Lua, lqt is what you need. If
you need a scripting engine like QtScript for your Qt application, QtLua is
the right choice.
