make_squishy is a helper utility to try and build the list of modules
that a script depends on, locate them on the filesystem and produce a
list for squishy to pack. With large projects with lots of modules it
can certainly save some time :)

It looks like this error is because you do require("string"), and
make_squishy can't find such a module file to pack (it's of course a
built-in Lua module). I'll see if I can come up with a nice fix for
that by tonight.

Thanks,
Matthew
