Due to popular request, I am working on an optional /etc/cl-launchrc feature for cl-launch. Because I allow a --no-rc option (that is enabled by default for me, you can use --rc by default), the contents of these file will be read *after* the option processing.
A cl-launchrc file may contain statements such as: system_preferred_lisps stumpwm cmucl sbcl clisp system_preferred_lisps exscribe clisp cmucl
Then remains the question of whether or not the statements should override a user-specified --lisps option. My current feeling is "yes, but issue a warning on stderr".
Also, the preferrence happens at script-creation time. At runtime, the variable $LISP is still all that matters -- should it not?
