Since we can't just add a target to the make invocation to compile
socket.unix (a target for that in the top-level Makefile would have
come handy), one approach would be to make a separate rockspec for the
extra module, such as the one that follows attached. I think I'd
rather have it added unconditionally to Unix builds of the LuaSocket
rock, though. I can think of two ways to do that, but I'm not sure
which is better: to patch the Makefile to make it build unix.so or to
change the rockspec to the builtin build type.
