Re: State of function pointers

greg --

i wrote a sleepycat interface (to 4.2) using uffi for elephant.  it is
separate from the rest of the stuff and easy to take out.  it should
also be easy to upgrade to 4.3.

http://www.common-lisp.net/project/elephant

i didn't use function pointers, there's a little C code to make
everything happy.  function pointers aren't well supported by all
lisps, most notably allegro.
