EPEL5 Lua problems (with an update request from 5.1.2-1 to 5.1.4-2+)

Hi,

The current Lua RPMS in EPEL5 [1] are affected by two bugs

 * Bug 495095 - pkg-config reports wrong --libs output for
                lua-devel in EPEL on 64-bit OS
 * Bug 499238 - liblua-5.1.so missing -lm dependency, lua.spec
                fix provided

that make it unsuable. Rebuilding the Fedora lua-5.1.4-4 rpms
for EPEL5 fixed both problems for me.

Could someone please look into it?

tia,
jpo
