Many thanks for your fast response! I'm sorry, but who's Lua, and
how do I contact him/her?

Lua is an interpretive language with an interpreter that's somewhat
compact and embeddable. Wireshark can be built with Lua support - the
Windows version we distribute is, I think, and other binary versions
(various Linux and BSD packages, etc.) might be built with it either.
See
http://www.lua.org/
for information on Lua, and see, for example
http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lua
for information on Lua in Wireshark.
