Ok, good to know.

This restriction obviously needs to be removed for production use. I think it
should work now, with the new lua search path in TL (so, with tomorrow's update
of tlpretest).

So, maybe it's preferable to remove the option (and the corresponding items in
TL: postaction, tlmgr button...) and update the doc.

I think, however, that it's worth keeping the mkluatexfontdb executable in the
bin dir, so that the user can run it with options (eg, -v for debugging). Wdyt?

I added a "check" target in the Makefile and made "ctan" depend on it (a good
habit for every package, if you want my opinion), so as to avoid future similar
problems.
