Cool, thank you.

I'm happy to read this patch and merge it into my own repository, but
you should know that I don't plan to do any kind of release
engineering for clisp (as with all other non-SBCL implementations).
That is, I won't build with clisp, I won't test with clisp, and I
won't personally make releases that claim to support clisp -- that is
for someone who uses and maintains clisp to do.  (I will offer my
darcs repository as a suitable basis for other people to do release
engineering from, though).

To explain: the exception for SBCL is because I am involved in SBCL
development and use CLX with it on a daily basis, and so I am in a
position to test and verify it there -- I simply don't have time to
perform release engineering tasks on platforms that I don't use.  If
you are willing to provide support for clisp, you might wish to make
simultaneous releases of clx with clisp releases.

Cheers,

Christophe
