Hi,

Edi, lack of time  prevented me from looking further into your library path ideas. I just wanted to point to your attention the following change in clisp, caused by portability issues:

Formerly, libraries would be referred to as "kernel32.dll", not clisp uses
"%WINDIR%[expanded]\\system32\\kernel32.dll" for the sake of cygwin.

I.e. short names are appealing (and I very much like them as well), but they might not work everywhere. I think there are similar examples for portability across UNIX.
