The current stable version of OpenResty is 1.0.5.1, which bundles the
1.0.5 Nginx core. The current devel release of OpenResty is
1.0.6.0rc2, which bundles the 1.0.6 core. Check out

http://openresty.org/#Download

Manually replacing the nginx core is possible, just replace the
directory of OpenResty's bundle/nginx-1.0.5/ with your own, say,
nginx-1.1.1/. OpenResty's configure script should be smart enough to
pick up the new version of the Nginx core.

But be careful with self replacing the Nginx core in OpenResty because
forward compatibility is not guaranteed. A new untested Nginx core can
break things, and that's all the point of bundling the Nginx core in
the OpenResty bundle to ensure that it works well with *all* of the
bundled components.

All of the nginx's configure options are inherited by OpenResty's
configure script, so you can still add extra 3rd-party modules like
this:

./configure --add-module=/path/to/your/other/module
