Re: unix(3lua)

One more thing:  When we imported Lua into base, we very clearly decided that pkgsrc Lua and base Lua should be two separate things.  Base Lua can not use pkgsrc Lua modules by default (and most probably vice versa).

The "unix" module is important doe the Lua subsystem in NetBSD's base, because without such a module, you can not write real software in Lua.  Lua's own "os" module is limited to what ANSI C provides, which is not really much.
