Here is a 64-bit version.

-- usage: lua luac.lua [file.lua]* [-L [module.lua]*]
--
-- creates a precompiled chunk that preloads all modules listed after
-- -L and then runs all programs listed before -L.
--
-- assumptions:
--	file xxx.lua contains module xxx
--	'/' is the directory separator (could have used package.config)
--	int and size_t take 4 bytes (could have read sizes from header)
--	does not honor package.path
