I didn't hear anything back yet. :-(
Lua itself is pretty stable though, not much is changing in the last
years. I'd hate to leave that much performance on the table (or having
to tell users that they need to compile it themselves). Can we compile
this twice, once without LuaJIT for stability and once for performance
with LuaJIT? Does that make sense?
