It would be the job of the packager to supply a copy of the rockspec. This is 
the only sane way because a distributor may have modified the software so it 
doesn't match any rockspec version on MoonRocks.

I just tried it but ran into what I think is a bug in make_manifest. When 
reading the "rock_manifest" that corresponds to a rockspec, it looks in the 
configured paths which may not be the tree that was passed as the argument.
