Ok.  It's certainly a problem that there's no file describing what to
do.  My fault.  I'll add a README file that explains some of this.

So, if you want to do a conversion, you need to load all of the files,
of course.  Use the f2cl/f2cl.system or f2cl/f2cl.asd file to load
f2cl via mk:defsys or asdf.

Once a conversion is done, you don't need to load all of f2cl.  You
basically just need f2cl0.l to define the packages needed, and
macros.l to define the stuff that f2cl-lib needs.
