I did something like this a while ago.  It's a procedural/OO hybrid
with a C-like syntax.  The environment is defined by the embedding
application, and it targets the DynamicMethod type of the 2.0
framework, which means that compiled methods can be garbage-collected
normally.  If this is what you need then maybe you can look at it.
