distribution

I'm looking at moving a program that currently embeds a Python interpreter to use Lua. With Python it's fairly easy to use modulefinder, compileall, and zipfile to make a nice tidy zip containing all the external libraries used.

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?
