Those are some interesting ideas. You can look at what we've done at https://github.com/jstat/jstat

The core.js file will run server-side. It has no dependencies and has been included using "this", which attaches to Node.js' modules. So to use it in a script you would just have to add the following line of code at the top of your script:

var jstat = require('path/to/core.js').jstat;

As for outsourcing the grunt work to a C library... We're going to need some community involvement with that one. It would be nice to be able to compile that directly into the server, but it's not on our roadmap right now.
