Thanks for the help.
I have forked it

https://github.com/rjpcomputing/luazip

I committed the changes and updated the version number where I found it
(docs, _VERSION, etc)

I tagged the release as 'v1_2_4' keeping with the other releases.

P.S. I am not really signing up to maintain this module am I? I really
don't use the functionality much so I am not familiar with the code, but I
have no issue with this simple change.
P.P.S. I do have another library I would like to get a rockspec made for,
so I would like to see how you make this new rockspec so I can copy it.
(Use the best practices cause I am going to do it like you. ;) But it is a
Lua only library, so mo make file or "building" required.)
