well, package path is supported (as is cpath) so it's more a question of
why that paths fails .. maybe we need to explicitly assume ";" instead
of the platform separator (tests on my machine work ok as windows has ;
as separator)
you can test this with adding an explcit ";" to
libpaths = file.split_path(_path_,";")
in data-lua.lua
