Indeed - I've tended to luac, and then gzip the program to embed it in
the rest of my application: although gzipping compressed source is
generally smaller still.
Of course, this doesn't help with David's problem; he needs it to be
portable between machines, so executables are out of the question, and
one can't reliably use gzip either, because it might not be installed.
