My release script sends the rockspec to the list!

I prefer not to store generated files in Git. I would like to ship the
rockspec in the distribution archive, but the trouble is that this
seems to create a catch-22, as the rockspec depends on the MD5 sum of
the archive, which in turn depends on the rockspec. There's a similar
catch-22 in the Makefile: the rockspec depends on the dist target, so
making the dist target depend on the rockspec would create a loop.

I'm happy to hear suggestions, but of course the rockspec for a
release is always available from the LR dev list, and, shortly
afterwards, from luarocks.org. Also, it's possible to make it from a
git checkout for any given release.
