The Kurmi project (kurmi.luaforge.net) has support for dofile and 
loadlib from zip files (or executables with a trailing zip).

It implements a transparent extractToTemp+load and automatic delete of 
temp files at exit.

It was developed as a Lua based install system, but it can be adapted to 
any use.

But... it is 5.0 based... I'm sorry about that... :-(
