Public bug reported:

Mudlet 2.0-rc5 (mudlet-HEAD-24bbfa4.tar.gz)
Fedora 14

The Mudlet build system installs LuaGlobal.lua, but at runtime it tries
to load a different copy, using a relative path.  This succeeds only if
mudlet is run from the build directory or from some other directory that
the user has specially prepared.  If run from any other directory,
mudlet reports at startup that LuaGlobal.lua could not be found and some
features may not be available.

It looks like there may have been some uncertainty lately about from
where this file ought to be loaded.  I attach a patch that loads the
installed copy, regardless of the working directory from which mudlet is
started.  The patched version specifies the directory for LuaGlobal.lua
via a preprocessor symbol, so it can be changed at build time without
further modifying the source code.
