Subject: [PATCH] `luarocks --local make` fails on macOS and Windows

Two ways of installing lua and luarocks on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

`luarocks --local make` passes on Linux but fails on macOS and Windows.

* [ ] TODO: macOS: ld: unknown options: -shared ; make: *** [python.dylib] Error 1
* [ ] TODO: Windows: Makefile.luarocks(2) : fatal error U1034: syntax error : separator missing
