Following Dan's suggestion in IRC I started on a loader that the Emacs Lisp calls to compile and load the backend---I've put it up at http://jamesjb.com/slime/swank-loader.lisp for comments.
Let's do it.
Speaking of testing, a few trivial runs of the unit tests with the OpenMCL backend resulted in 255 failures---after glancing at the code it looks like it would need a fair bit of work to port.
Ahem, that's probably just my crappy scripts. I used unix exit code to report the number of failed cases, but of course other sorts of errors can override my number. When in doubt, run M-x slime-run-tests interactively.
There's a bug in the interactive testing too though -- it reports the number of successful tests with the number of failed _cases_, so it might say "Failed 100/10 tests". Will fix :-)
