I see code like

# define luametatex_version_string "2.10.10"
starting with C99 these become unnecessary. Rather they should be like
const int luametatex_version=210; const char*
luametatex_version_string="2.10.10";
These ensure type-safety in the code and are good coding practice.
Good coding practice discussions are wasted on me (you don't want me to
look at your tex code -)
The versioning is abit special in te xdue to the fact thet some numbers
en dup in registers and others as token list (string). I have considered
changing that but it would also break some 'testing for tex version' so
for now we have to accept this mix of tex/etex/pdftex inheritance.
