Description: #
CLX is a cross-platform ahead-of-time compiler for Lua that generates standalone native executables through modern C++ toolchains, rather than interpreting bytecode at runtime. It targets Lua 5.5 compatibility and aims for predictable runtime performance and fast startup times, integrating with existing C++ build systems. Alongside the compiler it installs a static runtime library and headers for embedding compiled Lua into C++ projects.

lang/clx: Update to 0.3.0

Drop the post-install workaround: upstream now installs clx_simd.h
itself.  Add lib/libclx_lua.a, a new static library built from the
vendored Lua 5.5 sources.
