I'm planning to add an "add-on" system through which features like
that can be loaded by rockspecs that need it.
(I outlined my initial proposal for this at last week's workshop:
http://www.lua.org/wshop14/Muhammad.pdf )

For this specific use case you mentioned, I'd personally try to go
with a simpler solution, such as providing multiple rockspecs for
different backend libraries.

lrexlib does this:

also, luasql:
