Right, that makes sense, thanks...

Of course, no single tree is going to be able to have both LuaCOM and
lposix installed!

That is exactly the kind of information one would need on the server
side - maybe we would end up with something  like
luaexpat-1.1.0-4.manifest;  if LR needed that information it could
download this file, and if this failed  it would not be a disaster.

(It would be fairly easy to add this as yet another option to the show
command: 'copy the rock_manifest here and give it a suitable name'.
That may be stretching the meaning of the word 'show' however..)
