    Reading the site I saw that this library is for Lua 5.0. Although
that's the version of Lua used by monotone, it would hold even more
the upgrade to Lua 5.1.1.
   I don't think an external library is necessary for this. Monotone
has already directory traversing for Windows and UNIX, it could be
easily exported to Lua as an interator function:

for file in direntries(dir) do ... end
