The environment is part of the lua_call: luaopen_* are called in the current

Exactly my point. Use your own copy of linit.c in your C project.

Sure. My point is just that if you only need to change the set of libraries
loaded by your host or by lua.c, it's much easier to maintain a copy of linit.c.
