Not sure what you mean by 'independently'. From a single OS thread, you 
can create a few hundreds and then yield/resume one at a time. To create 
more, AFAIK you have to recompile the library after increasing 
LUAI_MAXCSTACK.

To have several threads running concurrently (from different OS threads, 
perhaps), I think you have to redefine 'lua_lock' and related defines.

There is a chapter in 'Programming in Lua' about non-preemptive 
multithreading that may be useful to read.
