[luatex] Luatex replacement for the babel package

[Diederick C. Niehorster]

Have a look at polyglossia. It is a babel replacement for XeteX,
although its (new) maintainer is planning to take a good look at
LuaTeX compatibility, soon hopefully.

I'm not sure to what extent it is already working well with LuaTeX,
but give it a shot.

Best,
Dee
