NO.  I've just started writing the copyright and control file.

I guess the next step is to "copy" the patches to build Lua from 5.2,
using libtool.

I'd also like to try out symbol versioning this time to make the release
team happy.  Have ld name symbols like lua_newstate (that exists in
other Lua versions) something like lua_newstate@lua5.3 so that if one
loads by mistake lua5.2 and lua5.3 in the same address space nothing
wrong happens.

No progress on that yet, I'm busy :-/
