Heh - cool!  Bill, your advice about needing to work on the boot directory for 
an sbcl port turned out to have some foundation, even after we both thought 
otherwise!

I'll have to go back and take another look at that - I did have boottocl 
running out of the boot dir at one point with what I think were fairly minor 
changes, and I think the only reason I stopped working on it was that 
bookvol5 made asdf choke.  Perhaps it would be worth looking at it again.

Cheers,
