Found the cause, the wrapper is loading the commandline args as extra arguments
in a pcall to the chunk being loaded. Sounds cryptic, but changing this line;
> for k,v in pairs(arg) do
Into

Made the commandline arguments appear. The wrapper code loading the args and
doing the pcall is here;
https://github.com/keplerproject/luarocks/blob/master/src/bin/rclauncher.c#L47
But this doesn't fix the problem as commandline scripts expect the 'arg' table.
@steve; does ldoc (or probably penlight) require the arg entries 0 and -1
(respectively scriptname and executable name)? or is 1 and up enough?

PS. Did this ever work?
