> So : how small can lua get ?

Pretty small. See http://www.lua.org/notes/ltn002.html for data on Lua 4.0.
Something very similar holds for Lua 5.0, only easier.

Also, like Roberto said, we have been moving away from the standard C library
in Lua's core. For instance, Lua 5.1 does not need malloc. For the chip,
you'd probably be able to do with a malloc that uses a fixed arena.
