Actually, most Gsharp developers probably use SBCL rather than CMUCL.
I don't know how well maintained CMUCL is these days with respect to
things like CLX, McCLIM, etc.  I am not saying it is not maintained; I
just don't know.

That is no longer true.  In fact, ASDF is probably preferable to
MK:DEFSYSTEM these days.

Once you have ASDF, you should be able to install both McCLIM and
Gsharp easily.
