I do agree this is an issue that I was going to resolve in Doris by having a
base executable and use loadlib to load extensions. In time perhaps I would
seperate out the GL, GLUT and GLUI code from Doris and provide this as a
library as well.

I agree this would be sensible. It would be nice if loadlib were adopted by
the Lua community and modifed into a framework for writing standard modules.
eg. skeleton code, examples and docs. With maybe something similar to ppm in
time.

I'll leave this one to the experts.
