Sure, it's a convenience only. It outputs bash-like syntax by default
on Unix, and CMD syntax on Windows. We could output other syntaxes on
Unix systems (perhaps based on os.getenv("SHELL")?) but no one
requested this feature yet. In any case, it is already configurable so
users of other shells can adapt the output to their needs. For
csh-like shells, one can add this to their luarocks/config.lua:
export_lua_path=[[setenv LUA_PATH "%s"]]
export_lua_cpath=[[setenv LUA_CPATH "%s"]]
and LuaRocks will use that.
