That's probably it. I've put up the Wiki page at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Lua

This might need to be added to the guideline: Lua seems to search for
libraries only in the current directory and in %{_libdir}. This means
that even packages that are actually noarch cannot be declared as
such, to make sure that they are built separately on each platform.
