The fengari-web release includes a pre-bundled compiled output
(dist/fengari-web.bundled.js) which should be automatically picked up
by most JavaScript tooling.

For use with webpack see fengari-loader
https://github.com/fengari-lua/fengari-loader/ which lets you simple
require lua files from JS!
I haven't tagged a release of it yet, but should be coming soon.
