merging lua files

[Valerio Schiavoni <valerio.schiavoni@...>]

Hello everyone,

consider the case where you *must* merge several Lua files and then
execute the merged one.
Which are the things to take care of? I've a couple of things in mind
which I don't know how to solve:

- name conflicts: files could have declared global variables with the
same name; would it be enough to
  make a re-write by for example prepending their name with the name
of the file they are declared?

- stack-trace line-numbers: if the merged file crashes, the
stack-trace produces line-numbers of complete
  non-sense to the developers of the original files...


Do you have suggestions?
