I don't entirely understand your linking example, but this seems like a good use of the lua api.
For you issue with clean, if you ever want to rerun a tup command, you just need to touch the relevant files and the new mod times will cause tup to rerun and regenerate. If you're using an advanced shell, it could be as easy as `touch **/* && tup`. As for wildcard support, tup supports arbitrary wildcards on files (not directories), you just can't use %g to capture both. If you want something like that, use lua. In addition, wildcards are independent of foreach, they're just useful together.
