You're right, that's what it should be.  Thanks for the note!!

I'll update the file on Sourceforge.

I certainly *could* do that.  It's always seemed weird to me, though;
Scheme, Clojure, and ACL2 are also Lisps, and ".lisp" could be just as easily
used for them.

Making the file compatible with ASDF is a really compelling argument;
if that's necessary for ASDF, then that's enough of a reason all by itself.
Does anyone want to package it up for ASDF?
