Maybe something along these lines:

MODULES = \
    HTTP.lua \
    Template.lua \
    . . . etc . . .
RUN_CODE=pre.lua Nanoki.lua
Nanoki.luac: $(MODULES) $(RUN_MODULES)
	mkdir -p tmp
	for x in $(MODULES) ; do \
	(echo -n "local _ENV = _ENV; package.preload['$${x%.*}']=function() "; \
	cat $$x; echo 'end') >tmp/$$x ; done
	$(LUAC) -o $@ $(addprefix tmp/, $(MODULES)) $(RUN_MODULES)

but you would need to do something about the multiple module
quirkiness in HTTPExtra.lua.

BTW, anyone have a Lua 5.2 version of lhf's luac.lua? [1]  That does
something similar.
