Very nice feature!
But I have troubles with cmucl 18e. Nothing critical since
right --with-cmucl-runtime does the trick but anyway JFYI.
If I just do bare ./configure --enable-cmucl I immediately
get an error:
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
CMUCL_RUNTIME_PATH =
/home/vadim/work/maxima/./.:/home/vadim/work/maxima/./../lib/cmucl/lib:/home/vadim/work/maxima/./../lib:/usr/lib/cmucl/lib:/usr/local/lib/cmucl/lib/../bin/lisp
checking for lisp... true
checking for lisp... (cached) true
configure: error: cmucl runtime

is not an executable
My cmucl 18e is a bit unstandard. It is not binary release
distributed on cmucl sites. It was build from scratch
and packaged as rpm. The directories layout is a bit unstandard:
/usr/bin/lisp for main executable and /usr/lib/cmucl for
lisp image etc. It works fine for me in particular
with maxima old build scheme. Notice that *cmucl-lib*
gives for me list of directories

First three items depends on pwd.
Anyway
--with-runtime-path=/usr/bin/lisp
resolves the problem.
Can't we just use which for cmucl runtime?
CMUCL_RUNTIME_PATH=`which lisp`
