Description:
Debian installs lua v5.1 as lua5.1 with a symlink from lua and the pkg-config record is also lua5.1. So the pkg-config check in configure checks for lua and doesn't find it, even if it is, in fact, installed. 

How to repeat:
Try to run configure on a debian or ubuntu system. 

Suggested fix:
# Bazaar revision bundle v0.9
#
# message:
#   Fixed configure script for debian systems, which put lua into pkg-config as lua5.1 instead of lua. Not 100% happy with how this works...

It is documented in INSTALL to use:

$ ./configure --with-lua=lua5.1 

to pass in the .pc file name.

Automating it is fine and will simplify the run on Debian.
