Bug#665279: pointing luatex to external lua modules

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Hi Faheem,

I am not even sure if this is supported *at*all*!

Since these things are compiled monsters, it means they have to
be compiled againast the exact version of Lua as used in Luatex,
which might not be the same as packaged in Debian.

Honestly, I have no idea, but I don't think this is possible at all, but ...

> I might ask the Luatex people about this as well.

I think this is the best idea ..., ask on the luatex-dev or luatex users
mailing list, and keep the bug report in Cc, thanks.

Best wishes

Norbert
