Hi I have been reading this and I am a little puzzled, which, in turn, makes me nagging. First of all in the document that circulated there is no analysis of the "state of the art". Second, have you tried to talk to the folks at Lispworks, Franz, ECL, etc etc etc? At a minimum they will give you some inputs about how to proceed, and secondly you will have a better idea about what is achievable (read: what they are willing to implement) and what is not.
