TinyScheme <URL:http://www.altera.gr/dsouflis/tinyscm.html> is claimed to
contain almost all of R5RS Scheme, is only ~64 KB compiled on x86 Linux,
and is useful enough that its author's company uses it in their Web server
as a scripting language.

I'm sure you could do something much smaller if you have a looser definition
of "useful"...
