[tlbuild] Request for help compiling luatex

[Karl Berry]

    It would be great if there was a way to build just dependencies of
    lua(jit)tex.

Yes, certainly agreed.

I've already answered this request several times (look in your old mail
and/or archives) -- it requires nontrivial automake hacking. You'll
either have to wait some indefinite length of time for me or consider it
an opportunity to learn :).  Or find someone else who can work on it; I
don't have any magic knowledge, it's all there in the manuals and
sources, it's just ... complicated. -k
