If I'm following correctly, this is by design: `luarocks unpack` downloads
sources and puts the rockspec inside the directory where the sources are;
the user then cd's into the sources dir and runs `luarocks make` there. The
idea is that `luarocks make` works like `make`: both expect to find the
rockspec/makefile and the sources at the current dir.
