If you want to do something "libre", my best bet would go to look into ECL (or CLisp) for doing something like this. ECL is already "embeddable" and its very much C-guts should make the port not so daunting. However, I do not know what kind of interface (API) you should build. As I said, I found LW pretty good, but I ended up writing several wrappers to make it friendlier to me.
