the attached, trivial, patch adds openmcl support.

i have one question re serialization of pathnames:

rucksack used to use host-namestring for grabbing the host part of a
pathname. however on openmcl this returns "" which, when used to with
make-pathname :host, creates a logical pathname. pathname-host on the
other hand returns :unspecified which can be passed back to
make-pathname to get an object which is equal to the original (all the
other tests passed without modification). is there a reason for using
host-namestring i'm not aware of?
