Thanks both. I ended doing what Javier suggested, but I just tested this 
suggestion and it works fine. Sadly, it does not work under LuaRocks (at 
least v1), because I can't find a way to declare that in the rockspec 
(that's way I'm crossposting this to LR list)

This is the relevant part of the rockspec.

build = {
  type = "command",
  build_command = [[ a command for building my library ]],
  install = {
    lib = {
      ["Foo"] = [[Foo.dll]],
    },
    lua = {
      ["Foo.Bar"] = [[Lua\Bar.lua]]
    }
  }
}

I can't find a way to let LR know that Foo.dll is responsible for 
modules "Foo" and "Foo.Bar.Core"
