Hi Joerg,

I've been (slowly) working on replying to your recent posts. But, I
wanted to jump ahead to congratulate you on your
accomplishment. That's good news, indeed.

There's implementation specific-code in CLSQL for LOOP extensions for
Allegro, CMUCL, Lispworks, OpenMCL, and SBCL. CLISP would also require
specific code written to support the LOOP extensions.

I'll take a look at them. I'm in favor of adding CLISP support to
UFFI. What's the legal status of incorporating modified versions of
your code into UFFI. UFFI, as you may know, is licensed under BSD. I
believe that CLISP has restrictions on referring to internal symbols
unless such referrents are licensed under the GPL.

No, the postgresql-socket backend doesn't use any FFI. But,
appropriate socket stream code would need to be added to CLSQL.

Ideally, I'll get to the specifics of your previous posts over the
next week.
