Just my 2 cents.  IMHO it is much better to have a versioned code than
sources thrown somewhere in WIKI. Especially for such things as module
for processing the applications's options. Such a module is IMHO very
fundamental and is not just example of Lua programming. Versioned
tarballs also makes packaging the software much easier. All modern
UNIX-like OSes use packages for software distribution.
