Oops, no, I misled you there! What I meant was that I need to compile
the interpreter into the application. The embedded interpreter would
interpret uncompiled code.

PHP can run as a stanalone interpter. In fact the CGI version is quite
capable as being used as such (or rather **it is** a standalone
interpreter).
However, as you point out, it is pratically always used in web server
scenarious, I don't no how much this has detracted from it's
suitability as an embedded scripting engine.
