I'd say LuaJIT is so easy to compile in pretty much every environment that just 
doing 'make install' is all the packaging you need. I've got it on the 
Raspberry Pi, for instance, and it was easier to build from scratch there than 
doing an apt-get install for node.js for example (to get the latest release 
running that is). -- William
