This is a little bit off-topic, but it's relevant. I'd been peaking at similar projects for a while now, but this is the first I've seen that seems to have taken off. It's a LUA debugger for Visual Studio. Highlighting, IntelliSense, run-time debugging, all that good stuff. Thought someone might like to give it a go. Cheers!

(Update: works with VS2005, not 2008.)
Added 17-Jul-08: Here's another, stand-alone IDE that doesn't require Visual Studio. No IntelliSense, but it does have a debugger.
Lua Studio
If you want to check out all the Lua projects, go to LuaForge and take a peak. I'll be sniffing around there for a bit. I'm thinking Lua could make a better scripting component for my engine than the compiled approach I was planning to take.

Hi Tom (if you're there)
I tried installing Lua Studio but no success. "missing mfc90.dll" problems.
Installed the redistributables (hmmm, not rebooted yet though) still no joy. Then manually copied the file(s) across to the directory but got different errors.
The last entry in this thread, explains exactly what I need to do... Now what do I need to do?
I'm not going to install VSC++ 2008 Express just to edit the exe tbh.
Don't lose time on this, btw, as I'd thought I'd just try it out. Notepad++ is a great editor (simple & fast) for lua as well, and I use Lua Edit at home.
