Specially I want to mention lsqlite3 module, luasql-mysql module and luasec module. Such approach doesn't help to wider Lua usage.

Nice!

Given that the version numbers above include LuaRocks revision
numbers, it's fair to assume that these were built thanks to their
rockspecs. :-D So that being the case, would you consider including
LuaRocks itself in the package, making life easy for users who would
like to use it to fetch other pure-Lua modules?

Cheers!
