Yes, the list is set so as to prevent spam.

First of all let me tell you that, within my limited time and
possibilities, I am open to helping people port any kind of libraries
to ECL and I am happy to fix any problem.

Now, as for usocket, I checked it out and, apart from the fact that
you were not using the rt from SBCL but the one from b9, your library
does not work for me. Tests do not even run because of this in
test-usocket.lisp

(defparameter *soc1* (usocket::make-socket :socket :my-socket
                                           :stream :my-stream))

where make-socket is defined in usocket.lisp as a function taking only
one keword argument, :socket

(defun make-socket (&key socket)
  "Create a usocket socket type from implementation specific socket."
  (make-stream-socket :socket socket))

What you say about rt, though, is strange. This library is also used
by Paul Dietz's ANSI test suite and it runs perfectly in ECL (I
routinely use it for testing ECL itself).
