I previously reported this for Lua-5.1, but I'd like to reiterate it
for Lua-5.2 if possible before that version is released. I quite
frequently script the installation of Lua in a non-global environment,
sandboxing it to a project directory. This works fine, I can specify
INSTALL_TOP on the command line, but the path /usr/local is still
hardcoded in luaconf.h and there's no way to overwrite it without
editing the file directly.

This would allow me to define LUA_ROOT on the command line and invoke
make in the src directory. I'm not tied to this particular solution,
but I would love to be able to specify a custom value for LUA_ROOT
without needing to alter luaconf.h.
+1 I think would be a nice addition
