Yes. But, adding "C:\Program Files\Lua\?\?.lua" (note the two '?')
to your LUA_PATH could provide a simple way to use libraries that load
other internal Lua files. This way one could install a library like:
aTool\aTool.lua
\auxiliar.lua
\another.lua
And load it with
require "aTool"
The file aTool.lua would have to
require "aTool/auxiliar.lua"
require "aTool/another.lua"
And it will work just with a correct LUA_PATH, despite the folder
where "aTool" subfolder was installed.
