Actually, this is what Lua provides, and what LuaCheia uses. All 
no0n-standrad extensions are implemented as dll's (or plain Lua 
scripts). The core Lua is not changed, as we use loadlib() functionality.

LuaCheia provides most fs operations on the main supported paltforms: 
win32, Unix/Posix (Linux) and MacOS X.

The dlls themselves are mostly done with branching code to support the 
various platform independent implementations.
