James> Very good. I'm glad to hear the port is proceeding so quickly. As long
The port was fairly simple. It was getting configure and friends to
understand acl6 that took a while.
This also brings up a bug. In SWAP-ROWS, there's a call like
(store (melt ...) ...)
and ACL complains that store doesn't know how to handle (melt ...). I
just commented out SWAP-ROWS for now since I didn't know what store is
supposed to do here.

Yes. I'll definitely build everything on cmucl, clisp, and gcl before
I commit anything.
