I've done a couple times, but never really shared anything .. I could
maybe dig one up and clean it up a bit ..

Don't forget loadfile.  Also, if you want it to be complete, everything
in io, package.loadlib, os.execute, os.remove, os.rename, maybe
os.tmpname.  Or just nil them.

Well, depends what you want to do..  Just PhysFS *support*, or
inability to use anything else ..

I usually just replace the entire io module (well, only implementing the
parts I actually use..), so that all io go through physfs automatically
and I don't have to worry about it.

(This obviously won't work with code that use Lua's C api for loading
stuff though.  Not much to do about that .. Lua uses stdio all over the
place internally, so adding internal support isn't easy either.)
