Guten Abend, Marc.

It's directory tree scanner which embeds literal file contents
(with quoting) into generated text code. When you run Lua on that
generated code file -- only one module will run (which was specified
at pack time).

As I understood from "man luac", "luac *.lua" compiles .lua files
from current directory and places their bytecodes in another file.
Running Lua on that file will run all that files in some sequence.

So I don't think "luac" is designed for bundling.
