By default, clisp uses some base set of packages. The -K full gives
the full linking set that contains the REGEX package that cl-info
needs. Without the full set, the REGEX package isn't included. This
also means that cl-info won't work on any clisp system that doesn't
have a working foreign function interface.
Perhaps I should look into using some Lisp regex package? Then
everyone wins.
