I tried to build module with luarocks on Linux and Windows.
It works fine on Linux.

But on Windows, LuaRocks seems to not compatible with the LfW distribution.
After INSTALL.BAT /LUA "C:\Program Files\Lua\5.1", it failed to make module.
I guess the space contained directory made some troubles during installation.
