[aquaria] Patch to run Lua scripts as threads

[Alec Holowka]

Slightly off topic, but I'm guessing one way to get everything onto one
state would be to append the name of the script to every common function
call.

So like nautilusUpdate() or nautilus_update() instead of update()

This seems like it might be a major pain in the ass though?
