Hi Josh
I am searching for the same tool Luciano is asking for and I had found
yours a promising solution. But I cannot find how to install it,
although it seems pretty simple, since it is a lonely .lua file. I
took a look at the code and found that it depends on other libraries,
such as ziparchive and xmlize which I couldn't install either (these
are C libraries; not so simple to install :-). I notice also that
there is an issue reporting difficulties installing the library on
Linux (which is my platform :-) and on a MacOSX:

Have you consider producing a rockspec? It should solve installation
problems on both Linux and MacOSX...

I don't use LuaRocks and don't have any need of it. I've maintained the
LuaPlus[1] distribution for a dozen or so years, and it has everything I
need to build various modules under multiple platforms. Although they
can be built in a standalone fashion, the xlsx, xmlize, and ziparchive
modules are also built as part of the LuaPlus distribution using its
build system JamPlus[2], a derivative of Perforce's Jam. (JamPlus is
also bootstrapped as part of the LuaPlus bootstrap process, so only
LuaPlus[1] is needed.)
If you want to build the ziparchive module yourself using your own
preferred build system, have a look at the ziparchive.jam file for
fairly 'English' build instructions. xmlize is just a single Lua file
that uses LuaExpat.
