I used to do that too, I wanted a self-sufficient Lua executable that
I could use anywhere and anytime. But I found myself recompiling the
whole damn thing whenever I discovered a new library, or when one of
them got updated. Also it's problematic when you want to just try out
some module, if it depends on the Lua dll. I found that to be quite a
hassle after a while, so I'm back to using dll's now.
