title: What's the best way to distribute Lua and libraries?
body: <p>I'm looking at moving a program that currently embeds a Python interpreter to use Lua. With Python it's fairly easy to use <code>modulefinder</code>, <code>compileall</code>, and <code>zipfile</code> to make a nice tidy zip containing all the external libraries used. </p>
  
  <p>Does Lua have the ability to bundle up its libraries like that, or is there some better best practice for distributing programs that embed Lua? </p>
