ASDF probably doesn't go deep enough into the implementation for some of these variants to make a difference, but might as well include them anyway. Here's a patch for that.
Allegro now has (potentially) 16 variants for each OS platform:
ANSI/modern 8-bit-character/16-bit-character 32-bit/64-bit SMP/non-SMP
(expt 2 4) --> 16.
Small fix with respect to previous patch, for allegro case in run-tests.sh:

[If you don't test on Allegro, you don't need to read this.]
Allegro is distributed as a single directory with executables for the different modes. If you were to have 64-bit and 32-bit you buy different licenses, and get two different directory trees. Similarly, you get an SMP directory tree and a conventional directory tree.
Within one of these trees you *always* get an ANSI lisp, a "modern" lisp, and 8-bit variants of ANSI and modern. *And* their names are predictable, given the directory name.
So I suggest we change the way the run-tests.sh script is written to reflect this. As I was going to change my test configuration to reflect the fact that I have a 64-bit install instead of a 32-bit one, it looked like I would have to specify 8 new names. But really, what I *want* is to give *two* directories, and use the default names.
I will provide a revision to run-tests.sh that will allow the user to provide directory names, and that will use the standard Franz names within those directories as defaults, instead of non-standard things like "alisp8_64_s".
I wanted to push out a warning since this will break existing configurations, but I think it's worth it.
best, r
