What do you mean by 'small'? The Scheme interpreters I use want about
three megabytes of memory just to start up. Is that an acceptable size?

It's not a big problem, but that would at least double initial memory use.
The notion is to add an extension language to text processing tool.
Most customers would probably never make of the interpreter,

You might have a look at the scheme implementation that runs on palm
pilots. Surely, it would need to be modified, and it is not open
source software, but I would assume that it runs in a pretty small
footprint.

I run SCM on my Zeos PPC in 640K.
