If you're referring to r359045, this cannot be used as an indicator of
kyua plans. Internal libs are not installed, just built for use
elsewhere -- and liblua must be built, as it's used in flua and will
likely also end up integrated into lldb to enable that for folks that
build WITH_LLDB in addition to the various other uses of it.
