Provide separate wheels built with Lua and LuaJIT

[tastyminerals]

I have a piece of code that I run with lupa:

from lupa import LuaRuntime
lua = LuaRuntime()

lua_code = """
function (size)
    print(_VERSION, (jit and jit.version or 'no jit'))
end
"""

It reports
Lua 5.3 no jit

How can I make lupa use luajit instead of Lua 5.3?

I have installed lupa via pip install lupa. I have installed both Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and luajit packages.

The PyPI wheels are statically built, meaning, they include their own version of Lua. It's probably a good idea to build multiple PyPI packages, one with Lua, one with LuaJIT, and one that is dynamically built. Help with that is welcome.

I see. I have cloned your repo and built lupa from current branch using python setup.py install.
The setup.py successfully found luajit. Running the above code produced Lua 5.1 LuaJIT 2.0.5.
So, I guess it makes sense to just build and install lupa via setup.py rather than pulling the PyPI package which comes with Lua 5.3 and does not add that much of a speed gain.

You can still use pip too with --no-binary lupa flag

@tastyminerals can you tell me how exactly you built it from the repo ?
