I had the same problem with the included script files (they are all enbeded 
on tolualua.c actually). Here's what I added to the Makefile to get it to 
recompile when I change a .lua file:

--
SCRIPTS = array.lua \
basic.lua \
class.lua \
clean.lua  \
code.lua  \
container.lua \
declaration.lua \
define.lua \
doit.lua \
enumerate.lua \
feature.lua \
function.lua \
lua2c.lua \
module.lua \
operator.lua \
package.lua \
typedef.lua \
variable.lua \
verbatim.lua


tolualua.c: $(SCRIPTS)
        tolua -H tolualua.h -o tolualua.c tolualua.pkg
--

right before the 'OBJS' line. That'll rebuild 'tolualua.c' everytime you 
change on of the script files, and compile everything in the binary. As you 
can see, it uses tolua, so you need to keep a copy of a working binary. I 
don't know about the modifications you made, but that should make it easier 
to test it.

hope it helps.. bye..
