Actually, I believe that a Hunchentoot working with ABCL is not that difficult to achieve. This is a project that I have long worked on in a piecemeal fashion.
Fixing trivial-gray-streams to work with ABCL is pretty easy, and I have patches for this that I think work with the latest incarnation of ABCL's Gray streams (we moved some symbols around somewhere in 2009). More problematic is getting FLEXI-STREAMS working correctly as it fails a bunch of tests in Microsoft Windows Cyrillic code-planes whose cause has never really been that clear to me.
I even got Hunchentoot working at one point by writing the necessary multi-threaded hook. But I wasn't satisfied with some aspect of my port (maybe it was the FLEXI-STREAMS problems), so I left the code for the proverbial next day which never came.
Now that we have a shot to use the [JNA-based CFFI port by Luís Oliveria ][1] to get Hunchentoot's SSL stuff working, it makes more sense to try to push my work through to the end.
Its going to take a few days for me to look through my code, see what still works, and publish the necessary patches with a decent writeup so maybe I can get some help with the FLEXI-STREAMS problems. Unfortunately, I am traveling back to Europe tomorrow, so time is a bit short. Maybe I'll have some to show around the New Year.
