As stated on another thread, Mr. Donavan also has a modular build
system for Lua here:

https://github.com/stevedonovan/luabuild

Which would be very handy for the work Paige is doing as well.
Definitions aside, I am interested in her work (and Soni's) and thus
involved myself in the conversation. In hindsight, I should simply
have known better than to start a sentence with "no offense". Like bad
code, it should have been re-read and re-written. For that I
apologize.
