ECL is rather minimal and, being designed to be embedded in other
applications, is easier to understand and to customize. You might want
to have a look at it: http://ecls.sourceforge.net

As for requirements, it comes with the Boehm-Weiser garbage collector
and also a conservative garbage collector that only requires either
sbrk() or mmap(). It should be easy to tweak. The operating system is
expected to be POSIX like, in that it provides streams (FILE), usual
file access (stat, unlink, etc) and optionally you can compile in
support for sockets.

Seriously, THANKS! I think I can pretty much port this and use it!
