This fits in well with the suggesion I made for Lua-based dependencies a
few days ago, where a table lists equal alternatives.
Another addition---LuaRocks has the variables CC, CFLAGS and LIBFLAG. I
would suggest adding C99 as a variable, allowing one to specify a C99
compiler without having to resort to specific platform overrides.

Yeah, C99 would help me with this as well.
