Note: this is slightly different than other Lua packages and, among
other things, implements its own install target. This is becuase I
wanted to minimize the amount of patching to Makefiles to make it
fit into the pkgsrc world.
Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description
constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is
dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based
virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental
garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and
rapid prototyping.
This version is a preferred choice for new Lua modules.
