Using pisin's patch: 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.web.uncommonweb.devel/586

allows ucw_dev to be compiled, and executed. Though I am still not able to
make it work.

Also, if I try to compile uncommon web using allegro 7.0, I get the following
error: 

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.asdf-install-dir\site\ucw_dev\src\rerl\backtracking.fasl
Error: Class #<STANDARD-CLASS APPLICATION-FORM> is not yet finalized.
[condition type: PROGRAM-ERROR]
Error: Bad type of object (SYNONYM-STREAM) passed to parent.  The
       object was #<SYNONYM-STREAM @ #x20d1029a>.

Thanks.
