OK, this seems to be somewhat done.

Great!  Keep us posted!

At Raymond Toy's suggestion, I've tried to run the clocc ansi-test
suite.  Unfortunately, it bombs right away failing to find
handler-bind.  I tried loading the macro in clcs/handler.lisp, but
this didn't work.  

1) What is clcs?  Should we be using it?

2) Is there anyway to get the suite to run showing all errors, or will
   the suite die at each missing function?  If the latter, running
   this suite will take far more time than I have right now.

3) Volunteers to run this, documenting failures, please?  They have
   hooks for akcl, so it can't be too far off, I hope.

Take care,
