Description
Can we take uvwasi and hooks it up the wasm runtime with the C API?
Then we could have a common WASI runtime that would work with any wasm engine that exposes the C-API.
For example we could take uivwasi and wee8 (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oFPHyNb_eXg6NzrE6xJDNPdJrHMZvx0LqsD6wpbd9vY/edit#heading=h.4tfb7x3beh2l) and create something like node but without any JS.
Ideally the uvwasi executable would dynamically link to libwasm.so (providing the C API) so that any wasm engine would be dropped in without even re-compiling.

Research direction
The issue names uvwasi, the WASI C API, wee8, and a dynamically linked libwasm.so, but no files or tests. Start by reviewing uvwasi's existing runtime integration and the referenced C API requirements; completion would require a defined executable design that works with a replaceable WASM engine.
