On the surface this looks very similar to what we are developing.  There are
some differences in goals and implementations.  It's very likely that we
would be able to share work.

We are going to provide zip archives of our packages as well.  We're
planning on constructing the ZIP files from patches submitted by others
(both to source and CMakeLists.txt).  Also our goal is just to build popular
3rd party libraries, not Lua modules.  Of course where your modules depend
on 3rd party libraries there could be a great opportunity for collaboration.
