Great. BTW, what are you using as your platform now, Faré? I am using Mac OS X. I just wonder if my tests there are redundant to yours.... If you are using the Mac, too, I will see if I can get access to a non-ancient Linux install.
For Lisp hacking, I usually use Linux x64, running tests on the implementations listed in the Makefile: ccl clisp sbcl ecl cmucl abcl scl allegro
Once before release, I try to run on each of xcl cormancl genera rmcl lispworks but I admit I sometimes fail to do it, with breakage as a result, especially since that involves finding Windows and/or MacOSX machines, or starting an emulator; in any case, using a foreign environment. ASDF is broken on gcl, but gcl itself is broken and unmaintained (the recent version with a fix for ASDF won't compile on my machine).
Lately, I've been using a Mac at work, so I sometimes run tests on it for ccl sbcl clisp and once in a while rmcl
I have been trying to do the tests on Mac OS X, whenever there's an update, and I use
ccl clisp sbcl ecl abcl allegro allegromodern cmucl
I don't have rmcl, but I suppose I could try to dig up a copy. Is this the one on http://code.google.com/p/mcl/ ?
So it sounds like my tests will complement yours pretty well. It would be nice to recruit a windows tester (or two, for 32- and 64-bit), especially someone with a lispworks license, and also one with linux 32.
