FWIW, I now think it's better to truncate muproc-compat so that it  
does not define the "stub" compat functions/macros.  At least some  
warnings might be due to that.

Another thing that doesn't warrant its own mail yet: I got most of  
the openmcl port done.  What's missing is a stable version of muproc- 
spawn.  It might be necessary to introduce another function in cl- 
muproc.comat, something like create-and-init-thread (thread-fn init- 
fn) that does the things muproc-spawn does inside the %without- 
scheduling% form.  Lisp platforms that use native threads can't  
support without-scheduling, but at least in openmcl it is possible to  
create a thread structure without starting it, so cl- 
muproc.compat:create-and-init-thread will use without-scheduling on  
lispworks and create-thread->(funcall init-fn)->start-thread on  
openmcl.  I'll send a patch once the basic muproc tests are running.

Cheers,

Rudi
