I'd like to +1 this suggestion, because for most modules LR will build
them without needing a makefile, which is hard to get right in a
cross-platform way.  There's an elegant feature called 'per-platform
overrides' which allows a module to specify different dependencies and
source files depending on the platform.

You can test rockspecs locally as well; they are the equivalent of
makefiles so that 'luarocks make' in the directory will do what you
expect.
