i don't know, it's a pdf document, so no html frame is part of it
That is just a weirdness in viewcvs, too bad. Here is better link http://www.luatex.org/svn/tags/beta-0.25.2/manual/luatexref-t.pdf
The manual describes a lua interface.
(next paragraphs written as the MPlib maintainer) Real API documentation will be provided once I am past the "alpha" release stage. At the moment, I do not trust the API enough to expose it to anything except controlled environments (lua mplib, newmpost)
Isn't mplib a dll under windows?
It is possible to build the unix version as a .so because support for that comes from autofoo automatically, but that is not yet officially supported: debugging dynamic libraries is harder than debugging static code. MPlib could become a dll on windows eventually, but first someone will have to explain to me how to create a windows dll (and I vastly prefer a solution that does not involve me having to pay Microsoft any money). I have exactly zero knowledge in that area and do not have a Windows installation either: the one and only XP machine here is my wife's gaming machine and that is strictly offlimits to me. Future versions of luatex and mpost itself (and potential other texlive programs) will almost certainly remain statically linked because that is much more convenient for us as maintainers.
