I Approve.

I have a few questions, though: How portable is it? Some of the stuff
sounds familiar to me. I know that most lisps have an environment
variable facility, and also some functionality to deal with directory
deletion/creation. What are the differences to what PORT (from cclan)
offers?

Regards,
        Mario.
