Why can't you simply use the C API stack? I.e. write in C a routine that to
Lua looks like

ret1, ret2, ... = forth(program,dictionary,...)

"program" is a list of words from the dictionary, for instance obtained
from split(str) using Microlight's split, "dictionary" has triples
{func,nargin,nargout} as values.
