-Subject: [PATCH] build: Handle lua as needed by Gentoo
-
-Gentoo currently uses unversioned lua:0 - lua.pc instad of lua5.1.pc,
-/usr/bin/lua instead of /usr/bin/lua5.1
-Additionally lua and luajit can be installed in parallel, but only one
-should be chosen - so add explicit meson options to choose between them.
-This is currently in a hacky un-upstreamable way: working correctly only
-if both options are disabled, or only one is enabled and the other
-disabled, but having logic issues if any is "auto" or both enabled; this
-is because feature option is mainly used to handle explicit choice
-between them more easily in a Gentoo-specific patch without having to
-add various conditional branches thanks to the feature being disabled
-acting as a full disabler, so the other option is automatically not
-checked.
