Currently we rely on the user's package manager to install luabind for us. The problem is that even in recent distributions, such as Ubuntu 15.04 the bundled luabind is still the version 0.9.1 from freaking 2010, with some patches added by the distribution's developers e.g. to make it work with lua5.2.

There are at least these divergent forks:

• https://github.com/luabind/luabind
• https://github.com/DennisOSRM/luabind
• https://github.com/rpavlik/luabind
• https://github.com/Oberon00/luabind

and probably some more with no clear upstream for sending in fixes (as I'd like to do).

We should strongly consider bundling a recent and maintained version of luabind.

To be done:

• check for most recent / maintained fork
• get in touch with original luabind developers / maintainers
• bundle as dependency instead of using the user's package manager's version
