the source install is what the options-based builds of nginx,
nginx-devel and freenginx consume: they compile the module during
the server build, so the sources have to be present at build time.
A prebuilt DSO can't serve that purpose. The port simply replaces
the former GH_TUPLE downloads, so the module version is maintained
in one place instead of three.
I'm aware of the angie-module* infra. That model covers a different
use case, and www/nginx-module-lua already provides exactly that
for the nginx package.
