I've retried with 2.014.9, and the cffi-grovel-related problems are
gone, but there's an interesting new problem.

2.014.9 includes this line:

  (declaim (optimize (speed 2) (debug 3) (safety 3))) ; XXXXX debug only

At (safety 3), SBCL is more aggressive about type-checking CLOS slots.
As a result of the new declaration of the VERSION slot of a component to
be of type STRING, several projects have systems that fail to load due
to type errors:

  - cl-jpeg uses ":version 1.025"

  - nekthuth uses ":version (format nil "~A" +nekthuth-version+)",
    apparently expecting it to be evaluated

  - js-parser and jwacs use ":version *version*"

  - meta-sexp uses ":version +meta-sexp-version+"

  - rutils uses ":version '(0 3 1)"

Was the :version option evaluated in the past?
