I've added kea-cl as a SVN external definition in the Parrot tree.
At now, I don't know if it was a good idea.
I see the powers-that-be have decided that this was indeed premature.
I'm not surprised (but thanks for trying).
When the following patch will apply on Kea-CL repository,
I could integrate kea-cl in the configuring and building process.
(but there're still many issues with non-Unix platforms)
As I run on Win32, I use SBCL instead of CMUCL . . .
Regards.

Yikes; you are pushing the envelope a bit, aren't you? ;-} Not only
does Kea-CL not build using SBCL even on Linux (README.text line 109),
but I've never tried Kea-CL at all under Windows. (Though "make test"
from the tarball should work on all Parrot platforms, but that doesn't
apply to building Kea-CL from SVN.)
If you are interested, I can look at the SBCL problem on GNU/Linux.
However, the differences between CMUCL and SBCL are due to Kea's use of
CMUCL compiler internals in the cross-compiler. There will be much less
of this sort of thing once the compiler "goes native," so I had been
waiting until then to finish making SBCL work again as a
cross-compilation host.
Thanks for trying this,
