Right, my bad. Now, regarding Lua for Windows, it is getting a bit old. It
packages LuaRocks 2.0.2 and Lanes 2.0.4, whereas the latest Lanes is version
2.1.0.
Also, it happens that somehow I have ended up as the Lanes maintainer, so I
need to build it from time to time :-).
I haven't seriously peeked at the rockspec yet so I don't really know how to
improve it, but that was part of my motivation to get luarocks running.
And as I tend to be the early adopter type, I wanted the latest version, and
I wanted to avoid depending on another distro to refresh it :-)
