Right now it is absolutely dependent on toluaxx, since tolua_outside is supported by toluaxx and tolua++ only as far as I can see. It's a shame if we can't use it, to save us the extra bookkeeping would have been nice (and was nice in the API patches I've been preparing). Right now it's easy to revert the change though. Switching "engines" like this is very frustrating. I see that toluaxx is dead yes but. I've been studying their code to find out how seucre it is and drafted some patches that should toluaxx + freeciv's api much safer against crashes/exploits..
