I generated some release rocks when you first asked for it a while
ago, but I don't have anything setup to automatically keep track of
new releases, or anything of that sort. Making new rockspecs based on
the previous ones isn't hard (in many cases you only have to update
URLs and version numbers), but I can't do that for everybody.

The LuaRocks repository will soon move to the MoonRocks website, so
developers will be able to upload them directly without my
involvement.
