If you can pack everything (images etc) within a lua source files, you
could use srlua:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2004-08/msg00489.html

(there are similar solutions to srlua, but I forgot their names).

Otherwise if you need to pack some DLLs (as you probably want to), look
at how love2d does distribute files:

http://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution

(using love2d would be overkill in your case, but maybe you can just
extract glueing/executing and unzipping parts from it).
