Supporting multiple versions of Lua isn't a good idea. I suggest
sticking with Lua 5.3. [This has the consequence of making LuaJIT
unsupported by cls-lua but I'm personally okay with that. There isn't
any strong reason to maintain support with LuaJIT and it lacks many
new Lua facilities we will want (like string.pack).]

Is it not okay to require distributions to build our bundled Lua if
they don't have 5.3 in their repos?
