My POV on this:
https://github.com/catwell/luajit-msgpack-pure/commit/f7144eb75bf748e912207cfe15f1260e88cab4f6
Regarding how to handle LuaJIT in LuaRocks, I do not really have an idea,
but I do hope it gets done someday.
Long term, I would also like to see something like Python's VirtualEnv
that isolates an application's dependencies from the system. It also makes
deployment to PaaS platforms (think Heroku) easier.
