It is turning into a rout. cl-ftgl is now sorted out, and I was so pissed off that it took so long that I just finished porting cl-openal.
Not that OpenAL is one of the more challenging libraries, but it was nice bagging two in one day.
at this point the only thing left is ImageMagick. We're having trouble getting a build of the full API (including the higher-level Wand API) which does not include X11. One solution might be doing without the fancy Wand API. We will see.
