I would certainly welcome new ports, so please do send any patches you 
have. If I have time, I will test on CLISP. However, since CLISP has no 
multi[processing|threading], part of cl-prevalence will not work 
(luckily this additional/optional stuff).

Adding serialization code for very specific CL type would also be 
appreciated ;-) Be sure to add some unit tests as well, thx!
