If possible, pulling the bytecode verifier to an external library  
would be useful... that way it could be optional.  If still packaged  
with Lua (preferably its own file to keep things clean) then the  
luaconf.h configuration could enable it and buffer loading could  
invoke the verifier.

I suppose the trick would be to be able to yank it out in a usable  
manner, since I suspect that bytecode verification relies strongly on  
its parsed version.
