LuaJIT and the Rocks?

Just a little question from the “Lua newbie” ... I am using LuaJIT, and this is awesome, there is no question, since LuaJIT is compatible with Lua 5.1, does that mean that I can use all the “LuaRocks” that Lua uses in LuaJIT by default?

For example, if I wanted to install one of the SQLite libraries (for example, http://luaforge.net/projects/luasqlite/ ) - how would I install this in LuaJIT?

Do you have all the available “LuaRocks” with LuaJIT?

LuaJIT is designed to be compatible with Lua autonomously. There is no reason why any clear moon moons should not work. DLL-based Rocks should also work, since the stand-alone LuaJIT DLL is compatible with the original DLL.

Specifically:

"LuaJIT is fully compatible with Lua 5.1, supports all standard Lua functions and the full set of Lua / C API functions. LuaJIT is also fully compatible with ABI with Lua 5.1 at the linker / dynamic loader level. This means that you can compile the C module against standard headers Lua and load the same shared library from either Lua or LuaJIT. "

I think that overall says it all.
