I guess this was David's suggestion. But you do not need to worry about
the 4K limit, unless you have really long lines:

char *prog[] = {
  "function foo ()",
  "  return x",
  "end"
};

As I said, with a proper lua_Reader, you can feed each line one by one
to lua_load, without concatenating them. (If you want, the lua_Reader
may also inser the newlines between lines.)
