Due to the fact that the object being written may be recursive, we need to
bind *print-level* and *print-circle* before writing objects to error
strings. Possibly, these instances can be replaced by a format string and
format arguments.

ABCL is by far the slowest.

#68: Extend Load.java to allow loading FASLs from arbitrary streams

Currently, Load.java inspects a file to find whether or not this file is a
ZIP file. From there, it decides on a strategy to continue loading the
file.
However, in many circumstances in Java one has a stream of unknown origin.
It's a requirement for good Java integration to be able to load FASLs off
arbitrary streams (resource streams, e.g.).

Some parts of our lisp->java interface are implemented as Primitives.
Those Primitives don't have docstrings attached. The idea is to add such
docstrings.
Bonus points for devising a method for generating JavaDoc from lisp
docstrings.

In order to enable easy packaging of a system into a jar file, one
that might even be usable as an applet, a small change is needed.
Currently load-system-file can read an .abcl compiled file set from
the abcl jar. Actually, it doesn't load the .abcl directly. That file
is a zip file with a "top level" file with a "._" extension and a
bunch of .cls files. The unpacked contents of these files live in the
abcl jar, with the "._" file renamed to have the extension ".abcl".
The loading happens by first loading the "._" file, a file of lisp
forms, which when evaluated, in turn calls load-compiled-function on
each of the component .cls files (plus does some other stuff). All of
these files live in a single directory in the jar file: org/armedbear/
lisp/
I'd like to be able to load from a subdirectory of that, in which I
would put my files. I can tell load-system-file to load the initial
abcl file from the subdirectory, say, org/armedbear/lisp/util/, but
then load-compiled-function wants to load the components from org/
armedbear/lisp. So the small change is to set *load-truename* in load-
system-file, based on the supplied path, and then to use it as the
pathname defaults when executing the call to load-compiled-function.
It seems to do this for the case where it loads from the regular file
system, but not when working with the jar file.
Once this change is in place, to package up a system, one would unjar
abcl.jar, move one's compiled files in to a subdirectory of org/
armedbear/lisp, unzip all of them, rename *._ to *.abcl, and jar them
back up.
One could them load a file from the jar with: (sys:load-system-file
"mydir/foo.abcl")
loadCompiledFunction is defined in Lisp.java and loadSystemFile in
Load.java

patching file src/org/armedbear/lisp/Pathname.java
Clean:
[root@titan abcl]# rm -rf build dist
Build ABCL:
[root@titan abcl]#ant abcl.dist
....
Download the latest binaries from http://ikvm.net
I use the "stable" ones: 0.36.0.11
Unzip the binaries to a $ABCL_HOME/bin/
Update MON_PATH:
export MONO_PATH=.:bin
Build the ABCL.Net.dll and abcl.exe
alias ikvmc='mono bin/ikvmc.exe '
[root@titan abcl]# ikvmc -compressresources -recurse:build/classes/
-out:ABCL.Net.dll
Note IKVMC0003: automatically adding reference to "/development/mirrors

The #P reader does not work very well for a PATHNAME serialized under
Windows/non-Windows, and de-serialized on the other platform.
See discussion on thread
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.armedbear.devel/1272
NB abcl-bin-0.20.0 needs to be re-released as it was compiled under
Windows, giving errors of the form
{{{

It'd be nice if ABCL would provide Lisp-side introspection
into Java classes. Including ABCL's own datastructures like
Readtable, Mutex, etc. So it can be used in Slime.

Currently, we don't have ways to hook into debugging information in ABCL
from higher-up API users. It would be nice to be able to offer such
interfaces, since it would definitely offer developers better ways to
integrate ABCL into deployed apps.
