The big question is if lua will be like perl, with only one version at
once, or like python.  It seems lua is stable enough that the
one-version approach works, but I don't really know.

I would suggest looking at lang/perl5/module.mk, which is probably too
complicated, but doesn't have the PYVERSION complexity.
