Lua binding available

[jirutka]

Hi,

I’d like to inform you that I wrote Lua binding for your library: https://github.com/jirutka/brieflz.lua.

I use it in Luapak for compressing Lua sources. I needed something with minimal footprint in decompression, so I can embed decompression code into statically linked binary without notable overhead in size or performance. I found that BriefLZ is both very small and has very good compression ratio for this type of data.

For example, 817kiB Lua source code (merged multiple sources, with a lot of comments); BriefLZ can compress to 243 kiB, liblzf to 337 kiB, gzip -9 to 207 kiB.

So I’d like to also thank you very much for BriefLZ, it does really great job with very tiny code!

That looks great, thanks a lot!

@jirutka, just wanted to ping you about the new release 1.2.0 in case you wanted to update your bindings. I don't know enough about Lua to make a PR myself.
