But (as is) it needs 5.1 to compile, because of this function.

    -- Evaluate condition with a Lua expression. Substitutions already 
performed.
    local function cond_eval(cond)
      local func, err = loadstring("return "..cond)
      if func then
        setfenv(func, {}) -- No globals. All unknown identifiers 
evaluate to nil.
      -- rest of function omitted for brevity
    end

You need something like this

    function loadin(source, env)
      if setfenv then
        local func, err = loadstring(source)
        if func then
          setfenv(func, env)
        end
        return func, err
      end
      return load(source, nil, nil, env)
    end
