It's actually just a matter of editing the rockspec to add:
bin = { "markdown.lua" },
after
lua = { "markdown.lua" },
If you edit the rockspec this way and then install the modified
rockspec ("luarocks install /tmp/my_markdown.rockspec"), you'll be
able to run markdown with just:
./bin/markdown.lua < input.txt > output.html
At least that's how it works on Linux.

I can't quite work out how to do this in a rockspec and certainly
not cross
platformly, but it seems that a link is needed from
...luarocks\rocks\markdown\...\lua\markdown.lua to ...\luarocks\bin
\, and
permissions on markdown.lua need a "+x". Then it turned out that
OS X
barfed on the "#!/usr/bin/env lua" because markdown.lua had windows
line
ends. It's all working now though!
