[JW Lua] JW Lua constant namespaces

[Jari Williamsson]

Hello All!

Attached is a script that converts the JW Lua constant names into 
namespaces (based on Thomas' suggestion regarding more Lua-like constant 
handling). For example, all NOTE_* constants become a NOTE namespace 
containing all the subconstants. The standard JW Lua constants are not 
deleted.

Try it out.


Best regards,
