In the current version, you should be able to create a rockspec of
type "builtin" with an empty modules table with no problems. The only
issue in the current release is that you'll need to give it a dummy
URL. This works:

---------------
package = "no_modules"
version = "1.0-1"
source = {
   -- any valid URL
   url = "http://example.com";,
   -- fool luarocks into thinking the URL is valid
   file = "hello.lua",
}
build = {
   type = "builtin",
   modules = {},
}
---------------

In a future LuaRocks release we'll make the source.url field optional
when sensible to do so.
