Hi, Igor!

Thanks for the patch!

Why do we need this behaviour? May be it is better to save strict order
of entries?

So, we can just check CMake version as Sergey suggested.

Nit: It's not single semicolon, but two of them. This ";;" special value
is created during concatenation at the next lines.

Minor: s/be/stay/ or just s/be//
Feel free to ignore.

Minor: It would be nice to drop the comment that this will be used in
all test suites by transitivity.
Feel free to ignore.

Side note: Looks like this part of patching is unnecessary -- we can
just leave it as is (isntead manipulation with ; later in
`make_lua_path()`). But it is good for consistency of working with env
variables, so feel free to ignore.
