This is what concerns me as well. Including a loadlib in the core 
implies that the proper way to compile and use bindings is in their 
dynamic form. As dynamic libs are only appropriate for certain uses, 
this implies that those uses are what lua is being designed for. (A 
Perl/Python system scripting language installed in system directories 
with path and environment variable dependencies - the opposite of an 
embeddable VM)
