Ron,

The zlib license looks very permissive, so there shouldn't be a problem. 
There are several NSE libs that exist as Lua bindings to C libs that 
could be used as a template: nse_pcrelib.cc, nse_openssl.cc, etc. I'm 
probably too busy to put the real effort required toward it at the 
moment, though.
