Well, in does infact work wonders when you stay within it's world.. it's 
when mixing things up (which, as a ucw user, we must) that it starts to 
have problems. The problems c-l-c solve are not those of a lisp 
developer, but rather those trying to package these things as part of a 
distribution.

As an SBCL user, you are also going to want to stay current, which means 
that you will probably install the latest sbcl. Unless you want to 
create a .deb and update all the c-l-c installed libraries to ones that 
work with the latest, you are stuck installing all the libraries by hand 
  anyway.

So, i was a bit harsh on c-l-c, it's a good system for what it tries to 
do, which is a cross-lisp application delivery type thing.. but as a 
developer it tends to get in the way.
