Agreed, but I would add:

No problem here.

That would be huge. Can we make that happen, at least for the list of required and optional modules I have listed above? That would really make this a real start to the next version of LfW.

I just mashed up a simple working illustration of the concept[1]. For now just the basics modules you listed.

Yes, LuaDist does this (OS X, Linux/Unix, Windows) but there are issues in more complex modules. Again we could use more feedback and maintainers.

Currently I used .bat script to build it however the concept is the same for all platforms so this is not an issue.
