The version of LuaXML that's hosted on LuaRocks wouldn't compile against
Lua 5.4 when I tried to install it on my machine, so I had to make a
couple of minor changes in order to get it to build.  After that I just
toted the binary around for convenience.

I don't have the altered code anymore unfortunately, but the original
can be found here: https://luarocks.org/modules/djerius/luaxml

Take care,
