This is an interesting project, thanks for sharing.

Did you explore the possibility to use LuaJIT instead? The ability to do this and also integrate with Terra http://terralang.org/ would create a great project!

I think this is targeted at the scenario where the developer works in Lua but is deploying to platform without any Lua dependencies. Not sure if it will pull in any used packages though.

Lua binary modules are supported by referencing the path to the module's static library and any dependent libraries. Used packages are not automatically pulled in. LuaRocks integration would be interesting: https://github.com/keplerproject/luarocks/pull/264

LuaJIT will be supported in the future. I will take a look at Terra.
