I don't know of an easy solution to this. cons.org binaries do not have common-lisp-controller support, and I don't know what adding it would involve. If you went down that route, you might be able to add another cmucl-classic CL flavour to c-l-c and have it put your FASL files in a dedicated directory. If you work this out, please write up the procedure so that we can document it on the CMUCL web site. I personally download the source to all CL packages, and force recompilation whenever CMUCL introduces a binary incompatibility. -- Eric Marsden <URL:http://www.laas.fr/~emarsden/>
