Yes. Stop the presses. I left out a crucial bit of information: it
doesn't work. Quit is missing from the CMUCL version. GCL doesn't work
at all. Other things are broken. I had meant to state that explicitly in
my first message. Sorry. I had those things working with the tarball I
produced in October. I just have to chase down which things didn't get
updated properly.

I really did mean to emphasize the "not finished" part.

Yes. There is an entry in the TODO file for that.

I don't think you need to bother for the time being. I haven't fixed
everything I know how to fix yet.
