Ok, adding /usr/lib is a bad thing any and every day (and in this case, completely bogus since it lives in /usr/lib64).
Same on Ubuntu, where the actual libraries live in an architecture-specific folder under /usr/lib.
But I'm still not seeing how we pick one of several lua-x.x libraries where they all live in parallel... and not seeing why we would select lua-5.3 over a defacto lua.h (which might be 5.4, 5.5 or whatever in the future.) Switching to a pkgconfig identifier as the first-guess of what PATH means to --with-lua might be useful here, resolve any -lm -ldl and similar depends and avoid silliness like -L/usr/lib. Thoughts?
Or just assume that if the --with-lua argument doesn't have a forward slash, it's meant for pkg-config.
Seems reasonable to me, in any case. Do we have precedent for that somewhere else in the configuration?
