Yup -- 100% portable ANSI C. I don't know if anyone has mentioned
it here yet, but Lua is also tiny, and it's one of *the* fastest
interpreted scripting languages there is. It's also well written,
easy to modify, designed specifically for embedding and extending,
and very modular. You can leave out the compiler and the standard
libraries simply by not linking them in, and end up with a ~24KB
VM. Lua has probably seen more use in games than any other single
scripting language.

Cheers,
Eric
