Re: require and -lname require LUA_COMPAT_LOADLIB

[Claude Marinier <claude.marinier@...>]

Currection: The package is not compatible with Lua 5.1; it uses a small 
script to support packages with a direct call to global 'loadlib'. Hiding 
this script actually fixes the problem.

I thought Lua 5.1.1 fixed it because I ran the test from a different 
directory where the compatibility script was not visible,

This is my first attempt to use a package. Lua has been very useful so far 
without any packages.

Thank you for your patience.
