While I haven't yet tried it out, the commit logs for this sure look
good!
My only question is if configure should different executable names? I
call my CMUCL binary/script as cmulisp. I think the configure scripts
assume it's cmucl. I think the default name is lisp. Matlisp's
configure allows you to specify the executable name if you need to.

CMUCL. The top-level loop is also quite different from what I'm
using, and I think the one there doesn't actually work.
When I get the code, I'll look at it and see how my current stuff
differs.
