I don't know if it will help you but I worked in the Lua loader Google Summer of code project and I have a working Lua script interpreter into the loader with almost identical features found in the Forth scripts. I think writing whatever code you want in Lua will be much easier. Some time ago we had a discussion about integrating the Lua loader work in HEAD but yet it needs some more work. If you are interested in using Lua you can find the svn repo and instructions in [1].
