That makes sense.

Figuring out which > man-page to display for `luarocks doc some-rock` is what's bothering me ... And, already, if the manpages are under doc (per the layout of my current rocks) then that happens already. Adding any files under man should be extremely straight forward. Cheers, -- Gary V.
