Ideally, wrap the code in these scripts in functions (if it isn't
aren't already).  Then, you can run the script (which will
'define' its functions) and throw the script away; compiled
versions of the functions in that script are now by default sitting in
the globals table of your lua state and you can run them out of
there as you desire.
