[JW Lua] ***SPAM*** RGP Lua and some info

[Robert Patterson]

Thank you, Jari, for the vote of confidence.

I must emphasize that this project could not have happened without the PDK
Framework source code. It also was facilitated by the fact that it is
possible for Lua scripts in JW Lua to iterate through (nearly) all the
methods and properties of the framework classes within Lua. That allowed me
to write Lua scripts that automated the bulk of the code to hook up all the
classes and other scripts that verified that they were the same in RGP Lua
and JW Lua.

In short, there is so much JW Lua in RGP Lua that I hesitated to name it
with my initials. But it needed to have a different name to distinguish it
from the original, so that's how it ended up.
