What's wrong with using a subset of the browser APIs? Or, alternatively, one of the many existing platform APIs?

Browser APIs are not C ABIs and the platform C ABIs are typically not cross platform and make for a bad target.

POSIX, SDL and the usual suspects are pretty much cross-platform and run everywhere.

Browser APIs have C++ ABIs that can be generated through webIDL if I recall well.
