Alternatively, LuaRocks could specify a directory where a rock can 
supply C libraries that aren't Lua C modules, and add each such 
directory to the PATH.  However, this would require a function to set 
environment variables (that's putenv on Windows using hte MS C runtime 
library), which Lua doesn't have.
