Aha! Found the problem!

It seems that Lua takes into account the current locale when  
interpreting literal numbers in scripts, and so it fails if you're  
using a locale that uses a comma as the decimal point. Stupid.

This is fixed in Subversion. I also added better error reporting, so  
that future bugs of this type should be easier to find, without users  
having to compile from source and run Pipmak in a debugger.

As a workaround for people who neither want to compile from SVN nor  
wait for the next release, you can get Pipmak to run by setting the  
LC_NUMERIC environment variable to "C" ('export LC_NUMERIC=C' in  
bash) beforehand.

Thanks for the help, Dennis!
