Sorry for a reply to an old thread - just catching backlog up.
I just want to remind that most language implementations will
have their own equivalents of lex/yacc - which means a non-trivial
number of programs installed. Would it not be possible to 
use a minimal scanf-based implementation and a simple input 
format?
