Further research has determined that the libraries that have .luadoc 
files (instead of pure .lua) do not provide script-args, so this has 
never been an issue. However, I still think they should be included, 
since 1. they may provide them in the future, and 2. script authors 
should be able to have documentation on their own system, even when 
installing from a binary package.

Unless there are objections, I will add these files to the install target.
