[un-cc-ing the metapost list since this part is only about luatex]

OK, here is a more or less working man page, based on pdftex.man and
luatex.1 from Debian.
Cool, thanks!
Very cool. I don't know how to edit it, but I can give comments
and other help, if you don't mind.
* --lua is actually optional even though it looks to be required
now from the SYNOPSIS (I am sorry, I know this came from the
commandline help, but that is also a bit misleading)
The option list is a bit outdated in any case, I will try to
document the actual, complete option list tomorrow.
* It would be nice if some one-liner about Unicode and OpenType
fonts could be squeezed in.
* Maybe point to either www.luatex.org or to "texdoc luatex"
(although I am not certain that that actually works)
I omitted some options from pdftex man page that
I'm not sure are supported by luatex, included some descriptions from
luatex manual, and some formatting. The ENVIRONMENT section is a direct
copy from pdftex man page, not sure if there is some thing that need to
be added/removed for luatex. FILES, AVAILABILITY and BUGS sections were
omitted as well.
Maybe TEXPOOL isn't relevant any more (not sure).
The env variables are all sort of weird:
TEXPOOL is definilely irrelevant nowadays (also for pdftex, btw.)
TEXMFOUTPUT is unreliable at best, and it may be better to
remove it (because the file callbacks can or cannot listen to
this variable at their option).
I believe that the current consensus these days is that it is better
to leave TEXINPUTS and TEXFORMATS well alone also, and instead just
rely on auto-discovery of texmf.cnf and if that happens to fail,
set TEXMFCNF to its location.
Best wishes,
Taco
