There's also CLISP (http://clisp.cons.org) which I have reports about it
working (with weird little messages about package-locking which can be
totally ignored).

Sure, that could help.

C++ is something to be avoided here, as it will mess up the FFI's and
organization. Straight C should be fine, though. At any rate, as little of
this should be written as possible, and a lot of the code can be derived
from the platform-specific squeak code on http://squeak.sf.net/ .
