Unfortunately, I cannot see a better way. Just be careful to translate \r and
\n to a space, instead of deleting them...
You can do this with a simple lua_load callback that hands back one char at
a time. This probably won't slow things down because the core already buffers
incoming data. (And so does stdio...)

How so? Text and pre-compiled chunks cannot be mixed. The code that loads
pre-compiled chunks stops as soon as it loads the chunk; it loads only one
chunk. Unless you're pretty intimate with the format of pre-compiled chunks,
there's not much you can change. And even if you are, changing something will
require code equivalent to loading the pre-compiled chunk...
