Im using that one now. I was curious to compile lua myself and understant
the package and tools it comes with. I see FreeBSD's package does ship
with .so and .a both. My goal is to make rrdtool [1] happy with lua, which it
seems not yet possible:

It seems rrdtool is not correctly picking up lua and detecting the lua libraries.
Thats why I tried to build my own lua just in case to see the difference.
