Comment 7 for bug 1073932

The corsix code is not able to persist Lua coroutines which is critical for us.

I reached out to the Luajit mailinglist[1] for advise and the consensus there is to bundle a version of Lua with the source code and generally to stay away from Lua 5.2 as it is not very widely adopted yet and has (apparently) some non backwards compatibility.

I feel that this is very much non-critical at this point in time. Lua 5.2 is not a drop in replacement for Lua 5.1 so will not supersede it in the packages as quickly. If it becomes an issue, we can bundle Lua 5.1 with our code(it is tiny) - this would be nice for other reasons as well, as we could add new features :).

I am reducing this in criticality and targetting and unassign myself.
