I haven’t really understood the reasoning behind the splitting and 
renaming of things in regard of luatextra, so i wouldn’t oppose to it. 
But the version of luatextra+luatexbase+luaextra that’s provided as a 
dowlnoad by Manuel seems to be buggy. A version previous to that of 3/30 
didn’t break these things. Perhaps this can be clarified in the 
corresponding thread.
