Let me be more specific:
LuaCheia's Application Binary Interface
http://luacheia.lua-users.org/doc/ABI.html

This doc was written by Thatcher Ulrich following a very similar 
discussion on this list some weeks ago.

As to naming all shared linaries the same on all platforms: we had 
exactly that discussion and came to the point that it is simply not 
practical (and won't work on some)... We use a wrapper function to turn 
the module name into a fully qualified libary pathname following the 
platforms specific naming conventions.
