A bit OT, but not unlike another obvious idea, which would be to support CLIM using Java interop and Swing, thus making code targeted at ABCL universal in both ways: completely self-contained due to the JVM, and also able to be deployed in other CL implementations. This would IMO be something that would make the "CL hosted on the JVM" really shine.
This assumes that CLIM is actually 1) a standard and 2) a good approach to GUI programming, something that can be debated
Funnily enough, McCLIM was my motivation for implementing the MOP for abcl. Even if turns out not to be practical, a clim running on the jvm has serious hack value. :)
