Minimal is my goal :)  I'm not sure I grok the difference between --lr-man
and --man, but my idea is simply to have luarocks use it's existing support
code to give me a list of directories with man hierarchies inside so that
I can distribute supplemental man pages with my rocks and be able to get at
them inside the unix man sub-system.

I don't have (or really see) the need to have luarocks doc become a man page
reader.

I'll try to send an initial pull request in the next few days.

Cheers,
