No problem, thanks for the upload.
Regarding luarocks vs multiple Lua, I would *love* if there was a
straight forward way to have a single luarocks installation manage
separate rocks trees for several parallel Lua installs.
My package manage (homebrew) has but a single luarocks, which uses
the Lua version you pass it at build time, and then manages rocks
for just that version -- in my case Lua 5.2.
I then have to manually side-load a separate luarocks for Lua 5.1,
and will soon have to side-load a third luarocks for luajit :-?
I think the unversioned /lib/luarocks is the main problem, so
fixing that should also fix my multiple luarocks installations
issue too, right?
Cheers,
