Once one has sorted out the dependencies order, then luac does indeed  
do The Right Thing (SM) :)

In the case of Nanoki, this looks something like this:

% luac -o Nanoki.luac Cache.lua Config.lua DB.lua Data.lua Diff.lua  
File.lua Finder.lua HTTP.lua HTTPExtra.lua URL.lua IPLocation.lua  
MIME.lua NaturalComparator.lua TCPServer.lua Template.lua Token.lua  
Trie.lua Unidecode.lua Wiki.lua WikiAbout.lua WikiContent.lua  
WikiContentFileService.lua WikiService.lua WikiContentService.lua  
WikiControlService.lua WikiDAV.lua WikiDate.lua WikiDateService.lua  
WikiDateNavigation.lua WikiDiffService.lua WikiFeed.lua  
WikiFileService.lua WikiFinder.lua WikiIndex.lua WikiIndexService.lua  
WikiIndexNavigation.lua WikiMainService.lua WikiMessage.lua  
WikiPath.lua WikiPreview.lua WikiRecent.lua WikiRecentService.lua  
WikiRevisionService.lua WikiSearch.lua WikiEditorService.lua  
WikiSearchService.lua WikiVersionService.lua XML.lua base64.lua  
markdown.lua Nanoki.lua

Which results in one 'Nanoki.luac' file of around 468 KB.

One can then run this all inclusive file to start Nanoki:

% lua Nanoki.luac . 0 1080
