The attached patch brings support for lualatex as an alternative build strategy.

So, this is interesting.  It *appears* (please correct me if I'm wrong), that 
you could do this much more simply by letting PDFLATEX = lualatex.  Is that 
true?

Thats what I tried for a project of mine, I just changed PDFLATEX from pdflatex 
to lualatex and it works out of the box so far.

BUT changing a line in config to change the build strategy seems more logical 
than changing the name of an executable to something  that is just not really 
that executable.

That would be against the typical use of BUILD_STRATEGY.  If lualatex is really 
the same as pdflatex, except for additional scripting capabilities, then 
nothing really changes in the way that it's built.

The right way to do this is definitely to set PDFLATEX := lualatex in your own 
config, named Variables.ini

The solution mentioned is fine. Unfortunately, it's only documented in the 
comments of this issue. Would you mind adding a comment to the Makefile source?

Sorry to be so slow to respond - yes, that sounds like a good plan.  I'll add a 
comment about lualatex to the makefile (and its help section).
