Good question, except for the 'just'. In fact it might be easier to
carefully study the specs and write a compatible library in Lua.
As for preferring to use the system package manager, it seems to be a
good way to go, (unless you don't have a package manager. Windows
package management seems to be a fragmented, fringe activity.)
However, one cannot expect the package manager to keep up-to-date with
bleeding-edge releases or small specialized libraries, which is where
luarocks is useful. But I've noticed there's a certain tension in the
air between LR and apt-get, since LR e.g will not recognize the Debian
LuaSockets package as satisfying any such dependency in LR packages.
(There are a lot of package managers and harmonizing them all with LR
would require serious work and thinking)
