  Define "lightweight".

  From a library I wrote, it appears that if you can live with just decoding
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" then it's a few dozen lines of Lua.  To
support "multipart/form-data" as well (to handle file uploads mostly) it is
742 lines (counting what I have) of Lua and LPeg code, which could probably
be trimmed down some (I reuse code that parses email).
