  Have you given thought to making a rockspec for each module?  Is that even
desirable?  

  I'm currently in the process of doing that for my modules [1] since some
of them (mostly the TCC one) would probably be more useful than some others
(like org.conman.net which is my replacement for luasocks).  There are some
modules in PenLight that I would definitely use (like pl.lapp) but others
that I'm not interested in using.

  -spc (Not only am I making a rockspec for each of my modules, but I'm
	having to break up the git repository as well, which is fun [3][4])

[3]	I need to pull individual files out of the git repository, and I
	want to retain history for each file as I make it into its own git
	repository.  I have code (in Lua) to do this, but its still very
	rough.
