BTW, if there's no way to redirect lisp output, doesn't that represent
the kiss of death for the minimakefile approach of scripting (almost)
everything in Common Lisp?

A related question: isn't building ASDF the most challenging imaginable
application for scripting in Common Lisp?  I.e., we have to invent our
own build system for the scripting because we are scripting to build
ASDF. For almost any other scripting application, our scripts could rely
on ASDF and UIOP....
