- Subject: Lua environment variables and supporting parallel versions
- From: John Belmonte <john@...>

For Lua packagers: I realized that to support multiple installed
versions of Lua, versioned aliases of the Lua environment variables
(LUA_INIT, LUA_PATH, and LUA_CPATH) are needed. I propose names as
follows (e.g. for Lua 5.1):
LUA_5_1_INIT
LUA_5_1_PATH
LUA_5_1_CPATH
If a versioned alias is set, it takes precedence over the non-versioned
variable.
