In fact, since the only fix needed is a minor one to the build system, I've
simply fixed it and made no new release. You should now find that
installing the rock no longer runs luadoc (at least, it doesn't for me).
As well as removing the offending patterns from the relevant .gitignore
file, there was one other problem: std.lua (which is just a wrapper to load
the standard modules) was generated by configure, which then triggered a
doc rebuild. Fortunately it's straightforward instead to add a dependency
to the Makefile to build it, so that it's only built when necessary
(really, I think it's wrong to ship a file which is built by configure, so
the problem is not a surprise).
