FYI, the current status is that require() handles only pure lua
libraries. We hope to extend that to compiled libraries as well, but
Windows is giving me a hard time: I have to alter the luatex build
process rather drastically because Windows requires me to create a
dll out of the embedded lua interpreter. Adding C library support
on other platforms is a breeze.

That new functionality will not invalidate any of Hans' comments.

Best wishes,
Taco
