Thank you for taking this on.  I really need help from someone with Lua
experience.

> Please consider renaming the package to lua-datalog

I don't mind renaming the Fedora package

but, the software has been called datalog since 2004, and I am loath to go
through that kind of name change.  Even its SourceForge site is
http://datalog.sf.net.

As a follower of Lua, you might be interested in a little history.  You may
recall that I posted patches to Lua that replace all floating point operations
with integer ones.  The reason is I wanted to run Lua in a tiny Xen VM build in
Mini-OS, and Mini-OS had no support for saving FP registers during a context
switch. The program we wanted to run within the tiny VM was Datalog.
