The clocc/clx sources are going to lose the port interface as soon as I
have the time to rip it out. Converting ip's from int32 <-> vectors <->
lists serveral times is not my idea of a good time.

I already have some shape-code in the clocc/clx version. If you send
patches I would be happy to accept them. Not only for extentions but
also to make clocc/clx more "plug-in" compatible with cmucl/clx.

The final goal is to have only one clx sourcebase for all lisp, but I'm
a long way away from that target :-(
