I'm not really sure about that, but my shell of choice is zsh and
without that configure would sometimes give an error reported by zsh...
I guess somewhere it assumes the shell to be sh and doesn't check, or
something.
The internals of the compiled configure are a bit scary and that
empirical solution worked well enough to satiate my curiosity ;)

I'll check again in the future maybe, but I guess it's something
specific to my installation and you can probably avoid it.

I guess the "correct" name would be just "lua", but when two version are
not compatible the port/package-maintainers need to come up with a
different name, not necessarily consistent across systems...

Of course ;-)

Hey, we do have monotone in the Ports since quite a few, since well
before my arrival in fact ;-)
(and packages get compiled automatically when there is a working port)

I'm looking forward to "stripped" landing!
