Thanks for the input. The ideal solution is a single-EXE web server
that somehow loads a compact interpreter installed in the same
directory and run a script that will call the SQLite library.

I'd like to avoid having to run an installer and configure things
afterward, so unzipping a ZIP file into a directory and launching the
web server with a default configuration file should be all the user
has to do.

Has someone already used Lua with a a compact web server like Mongoose
or Lighttpd, and could tell me if it's possible to wrap the whole
thing into a portable ZIP file?

BTW, what is LuaCGI, and do I need it in addition to installing Lua to
run web scripts?

Thank you.
