A testing phase when building stuff with luarocks may be useful. I usually have 
a bunch of tests with my modules (OK, with 2 relased m,odules, "usually" might 
be too strong a word ;) ), and it might be useful for the module author to have 
to run and pass a test suite of sorts in order for an installation to succeed. 
However, I would prefer this to be a single test file that exits with success 
or failure.

Not too sure about the generation. A unified access to documentation would be 
nice, aka perldoc, but I feel that something like the recently discussed info 
command for luarocks would be sufficient, i.e. have luarocks point you at the 
docs. I handle documentation generation from the skript that packs my rocks for 
me, this works quite well.
