I'm manually fetching sources, and want to run luarocks against them:
e.g. for luatz:
```
$ wget -q "http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/luatz-0.1-1.rockspec";
$ curl -Ls "https://github.com/daurnimator/luatz/archive/v0.1.tar.gz"; | tar
-xz
$ luarocks make --pack-binary-rock luatz-0.1-1.rockspec
cp: cannot stat ‘luatz/parse.lua’: No such file or directory
│
Error<http://store.tcgplayer.com/Products.aspx?GameName=Magic&Name=Error&partner=AUTOANY>:
Build error: Failed installing luatz/parse.lua in
/tmp/luarocks_luarocks-build-pack-luatz-3386/lib/luarocks/rocks-5.2/luatz/0.1-1/lua/luatz/parse.lua
```
It doesn't change directory into the correct dir, looking at the source,
this seems to be due to `minimal_mode`:
https://github.com/keplerproject/luarocks/blob/58b7f5d8531e054217bb6d425c04d76f699b6adf/src/luarocks/build.lua#L154and
done on purpose...
```
-- @param minimal_mode boolean: true if there's no need to fetch,
-- unpack or change dir (this is used by "luarocks make"). Implies
-- need_to_fetch = false.
```
