  You got me thinking, and one quick search later:

package = "org.conman.parsers.email"
version = "1.0.0-0"

source =
{
  url = "https://raw.github.com/spc476/LPeg-Parsers/master/email.lua";
}

description =
{
  homepage = "http://...";,
  maintainer = "Sean Conner <sean@conman.org>",
  license    = "LGPL",
  summary    = "Parse RFC-5322 based email messages",
  detailed   = [[
	Blah blah blah blah
  ]]
}

dependencies =
{
  "lua",
  "lpeg >= 0.10"
}

build =
{
  type = "none",
  copy_directories = {},
  install = 
  {
    lua = 
    {
      ['org.conman.parsers.email'] = "email.lua"
    }
  }
}

This works.  So you *can* link to individiual files on github (but email.lua
isn't a proper Lua module yet).

  -spc (Well then ... I don't think I need to split up my org.conman
	repository then ... )
