Ok, I have something working. My framework is heavily based on
pyversion.mk (in fact, lang/lua/version.mk is a copy-paste
of pyversion.mk, you will see many similarities there).
I created lang/lua51 and lang/lua52 which don't conflict because they
install files into different directories or with different suffixes.
I also adapted devel/lua-lpeg for testing. I will continue changing
other lua modules.

My changes are available here:

It would be great if some pkgsrc could review them. I'm pretty sure
that many things can be improved.
