The .lua files should require no modifications when ported. Do you have
the Lua module system working in VxWork already? Usually, when you
invoke require'socket', it is the socket.lua file that is loaded. This,
in turn, loads the C part of the library. Same goes for require'mime'
and mime.lua. All other .lua modules are optional, and implement
protocols which you may or may not use.
