  You missed the point.  The point is to make the top level directory named
after the *entire* module name, not just the first portion.  For *every*
module you install.  So that means you get

	Math_Evol/1_13_0+1/...
	Math_RungeKutta/1_8_0+1/...

Did you not see the example I gave for luasocket?  Here it is again:

	ltnl2/2_0_2+1/...
	mime/2_0_2+1/...
	mime_core/2_0_2+1/...
	socket/2_0_2+1/...
	socket_core/2_0_2+1/...
	socket_ftp/2_0_2+1/...
	socket_headers/2_0_2+1/...
	socket_http/2_0_2+1/...
