* There are people who do not use or work on GeanyLua (eg, fix bugs) because it 
is using an obsolete branch of Lua.
* Supporting multiple packages can expose bugs.  For instance, #1233 fixes a 
bug where `--with-lua-pkg=` was previously completely ignored.

If GeanyLua crashes on Mac with Lua 5.1, there is no change in plugin 
availability whether LuaJIT is used or not.  If GeanyLua works on Mac with Lua 
5.1, but not LuaJIT, it can be built with Lua 5.1 either by autodetection or 
setting the `--with-lua-pkg` flag (which currently isn't working, but is fixed 
by #1233).
