Description: Despite lua being a dependency of the elinks package (hence bug report), the current elinks version (0.11.4rc1-1) does not seem to support lua.


Steps to reproduce:
1) echo 'function pre_format_html_hook (url, html) return "FOO" end' > .elinks/hooks.lua
2) fire elinks "http://www.archlinux.org"

If there is lua support you should see "FOO" instead of the archlinux webpage.

When trying to build the package from abs, it seems that the problem stems from the lualib library not being found.
This task depends upon

In fact it seems to be an upstream bug: elinks supports lua 5.0, not 5.1 (see http://bugzilla.elinks.cz/show_bug.cgi?id=742).
If you apply both patches attached in the comments (331 and 353), and add the line:
sed -i 's/-llualib$suffix//' configure
in the PKGBUILD, lua support will be added.
