It sounds like you're in agreement here.  The "telent" tree has code in
it that should make it run on many Lisp implementations (I hesitate to
say "supports", because this is after all Free Software), but the
releases we make from it are only tested for SBCL.  If you want to use
th same tree to make CLISP-oriented releases on CLISP timetables, that's
also cool.

Think of the tree at telent.net as being an infrequently updated mirror
of Christophe's.  As a rule, development happens in Christophe's tree
and the one at telent is only updated when making releases.  So, his.
