I personally write my own wrappers, but if the amount of existing code 
you need to interface is huge, this may not be an option.

You can take a look here:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/BindingCodeToLua

for a few pointers.

What do you mean by "exit" statements?
Does your scripts call functions like os.exit and the like? If so, you 
can simply replace the offending functions with empty ones before 
calling those scripts, either with Lua:
  os.exit = function() end

or with C.
