luajit: NYI: no support for writing OSX object files
Some questions arise from this (to Mike):
- why does luajit require root for some tasks on OS X, could the error
message be improved to indicate this?
- how high a priority is supporting MacOSX object files, any ETA?
- would creating a statically linked standalone executable for a pure
Lua file still involve a minimal C wrapper file
that creates a new Lua state L, maybe opens standard libraries and
then ends in a luaL_dostring(L,"require('module')")?
