Not very.  I did one for the Internet Station, on a 486, the complete
server code was about 18K.  This included supporting "active pages"
with custom HTML tags to suck in and present the values of system
variables and configuration settings, and support for HTML FORM input
processing.

Don't use stdio and you'll keep your code size down significantly.
