If you use Lisp different than
gcl you should also specify --with-x=no option (otherwise
build will hang trying to generate HyperDoc pages)


I could automatically disable X part when sbcl is in use if giving
extra option is a problem.

The processes are created as expected, but due to not working sockets
enter infinite wait.  If you get to this point just kill the processes
-- all parts that should be build are build already.
