Yes, the general answer is that we didn't quite get our act together

In the meantime, Luabuild may be useful for moving to 5.2::

https://github.com/stevedonovan/luabuild

Needs an existing Lua with lfs (Lua 5.1 does fine) to bootstrap and
builds Lua 5.2 with the common libraries (with a useful option to
build chosen libraries into Lua 5.2 statically)
