Thanks for making Lua available in Fedora, Tim, although there remains
an awkward issue which happened with LuaRocks and might bite other
people. The canonical Lua Unix module path goes like /usr/local/share
etc, whereas Fedora makes the Lua module path like /usr/share etc,
which is consistent with the roles of /usr and /usr/share. However,
a lot of makefiles (and LuaRocks) assumes the canonical module path,
which can cause frustration.
On Debian Lua is patched so that there are Lua module paths both in
/usr (for Debian managed packages) and /usr/share (for user managed
packages);

Sorry for being somewhat OT, but I'm sure it will bite other people at
some point.
