</div>For making images, there is<br>
* Xach's buildapp, which is great but sbcl-only<br>
* my own cl-launch, which is portable, and can be complemented with my<br>
command-line-argument library, or Didier Verna's CLON (ported only to<br>
a few platforms).<br>
<br>
Both rely on ASDF2, which any modern implementation should provide,<br>
and/or that you can get by yourself.<br>
