Python doesn't seem to meet the goal of a svelte embedded language (or
at least the standard implementation doesn't).
I can't really speak for how well it matches Tom's other criteria, as I
don't know that much about it.
$ size /usr/lib/libpython2.3.so.1

Just for fun, here are a few others...:

Python, perl, and guile also have fairly hefty loadable libraries of
interpreted files; I'm not sure how much of it is actually necessary
though (at least guile and python won't start if you remove their
interpreted library directory).
