If someone is interested in that, I've posted more here (last half of
post):
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c/msg/13a6ef81e8b85e0d

It includes counts of the various primitives and required words (level
0/nucleus, required, defined) for FORTH standards (FORTH
1970,FORTH-79,FORTH-83,fig-FORTH,ANS-FORTH), and various FORTH's, and
other
non-FORTH info.
