A patch to add --with-lua-prefix

The configure script of Vim searches Lua's header file from /usr/include by default. So, on a prefixed environment, header file cannot be found and Lua support is disabled.

The problem can be confirmed by following:

  USE="lua" emerge vim
  vim --version | grep lua
  #this returns -lua, not +lua


Adding --with-lua-prefix="$EPREFIX/usr" remedies the problem.
A patch to ebuild is attached.
