Unfortunately, building all the dependencies is hard at the moment. But I'd
definitely like to see FFI working in luajit with a Lua Zile that's squashed
into a single file... unfortunately the former is outside my current skill
set, though I do plan on working on the latter when the dust has settled on
the merge from master.

And at the moment, it seems to have some performance issues when using the
puc-rio runtime.  But all of that is just a simple matter of programming.
