Why do we need gcl at all?



In a previous message to the list, I saw a bench mark that indicated
that clisp was only about 30% slower then gcl.  Wouldnt our time
be better served by building the stuff in clisp that gcl has,
which I thought was tk support, and then putting our time into cmucl
and making it work on more platforms?  clisp is a gpl'd product also,
works on many more platforms than gcl.  Plus, it implements CLOS,
and many more features then gcl.
