Hello!

I think the comments of Eric and Cyril need to be addressed.

Other than that, I’m wondering: is there a reason why upstream Lua
doesn’t install a shared library by default?  Is it because the normal
way to use it is to include the source in the package that uses it?

IOW, is it OK to diverge from upstream?

If in doubt, it’s probably fine, IMO, but I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
