Re: Standardizing lua names on *nix systems (and their distributions)

  I think best overall would be:

	lua-50	(if it's still around)
	lua-51
	lua-52
	lua-53

  That way, you won't run afoul of systems that use '.' to separate the main
file name from the extension (cough MS-DOS cough), and the name stil fits in
eight characters (cough MS-DOS cough).  I doubt we'll get to Lua 51.0 any
time soon ...
