It doesn't seemed reasonable. Lua standard libraries don't add
significant footprint to Lua kernel module. In fact, on am64, both
versions (with or without Lua stdlib) have 240K.

Using luaL_register() instead of reinvent it, just pays the price for
me (which is 0KB =). Also, I think that Lua is really less useful
without standard libraries.
