I haven't had any problems with pl.app.require_here

https://github.com/stevedonovan/Penlight/blob/master/lua/pl/app.lua#L26

which uses the arg[0] trick.  Just needs a single line to be added to
the designated "main script"

require 'pl.app'.require_here()
...'local requires'
...

 Works on every platform I've tested on, but I'd appreciate if anyone
could find a hole in this scheme....
