It depends on how you compile Vim; it is easy enough to provide a static Lua
lib instead of a dynamic one.

If you have statically linked Lua to Vim you can simply carry the executable
with you. However it's simpler (and sometimes more efficient depending on the
platform) to just use a dynamic link; the "environment" is just a dynamic
library.
