Hi, Sergey,

thanks for the patch! See my comments.

Honestly, I don't like that we have similar files in two repositories 
(aggregate, setup-env.sh).

This makes maintenance more complicated. I would put these files to a 
shared repository

and reuse it for tarantool and luajit repos.

Original files are even not specified in commit messages for 
setup-env.sh and aggregate.lua,

I think it is worth it. No sense to review these files if it was already 
done previously.
