Therefore my question: is it possible to precompile and bind a Lua program into a complete and selfconsistent executable? Either the lua modules only, or even including libraries? And if so, how is it done?

luabuild [1] does this for Lua 5.2.  It uses Jay Carlson's soar to combine your program into a single source archive, and lhf's srlua to bind that archive to a standalone executable. Can also include common modules such as luafilesystem and luasocket into that executable.
