Make sure you download the latest cffi-luis tarball, it contains an 
important bugfix for Lispworks.

I have never tested this particular combination. Not sure if it needs 
the patch mentioned in cffi's homepage or not. Or what's happening with 
calling convention, etc... (will try it out tonight)

Like I mentioned in my final report Corman, ECL and GCL are not quite 
working at the moment.

I don't think Armed Bear CL is able to access C libraries though, at 
least not without writint some JNI or something like that (my 
experience with Java is limited).

That'll work fine. OpenMCL passes all tests except callbacks.double and 
callbacks.float due to a bug that has been fixed in its CVS version.

Regarding the docs. Do you think a toc with one-line descriptions 
similar to what's in UFFI's docs would be a good idea?

What evaluations?
