Please, no. LuaRocks makes me a sad panda. Not to mention that it
hardly ever works correctly for me, getting it to spit out things
suitable for integration into other products is a pain.
I think I'd be happier if what LuaRocks was was a system for converting
a description of a Lua module into a package; so RPM, DEB, tar.gz,
Windows MSI, etc.
