See my posting from a few weeks ago, it is much more to do than
recompiling.

It is not longer under development by its original groups of authors,
but a number of individuals provide help and bug fixes, in the news

CMU CL.

Determining how close the free Lisps are to ANSI CL is something that
should be done, BTW.
