Re: Portability with USocket

Hi, Terje

You're welcome, and actually you did most of the hard parts in the whole porting work.

I'm planning to bring UDP support to usocket's MCL backend, based on MCL's FFI facility; I think it's quite possible to implement all usocket features in short future.

For "other portable libraries", I think currently the bottleneck is the support of Gray Streams, which stops a lots of third-party CL packages (include Hunchentoot) running on MCL/RMCL.  I talked about this before, but I realized that I'm not capable to implement it because of my knowledge limitation.  I hope someone else (maybe you) could try to work on it instead. The goal is to make a series of loadable MCL patches as part of trivial-gray-streams project.
