Well, if you want to limit the task to the lexer/parser this is very
easy. The ffi library is used in the lexer only to generate cdata
constants. If you remove the support for cdata the FFI module is no
longer needed.
For the other side what is not trivial is the bytecode generator since
this latter targets luajit bytecode and AFAIK it is very
luajit-specific.
