If you want to keep this way of registering your libraries is 5.2,
but don't want to use or require LUA_COMPAT_MODULE when build Lua,
you can copy luaL_findtable from the 5.2 source and use this version
of luaL_register:


You will find it in lauxlib.c line 764 guarded by a LUA_COMPAT_MODULE macro.
