Dear ABCL developers,
did you ever get to look at the make-pathname bug? for i in sbcl ccl clisp scl allegro ecl gclcvs abcl xcl ; do cl-launch -l $i -iw '(make-pathname :directory nil :defaults #p"/home/fare/")' ; done
Also, I'd like to support ABCL in XCVB, and for that I need something more powerful than run-shell-command, since I need to be able to grab the output. I support I could write to a temporary file with a shell redirect, but it's dirty and racy and requires figuring out where the temporary files are to be located.
Could you implement a variant of run-program? It might require some trickery to support both Unix and Windows, but it would be very useful, probably beyond just XCVB.
