[armedbear-devel] Hunchentoot and ABCL

[Axel Rauschmayer]

Cool. Sounds like all of the platform would benefit from this(?)

I will start my experiments with servlets, but might come back to  
Hunchentoot later.

What is the preferred way of installing libraries with ABCL? asdf- 
install does not seem to work. How about Lispy [1]?
