  Pascal> To generate the directory name for fasl files, I use the following
  Pascal> function, adding the machine type:

  Pascal> (defun first-word (text)
  Pascal>   (let ((pos (position (character " ") text)))
  Pascal>     (if pos (subseq text 0 pos) text)))

  Pascal> (defun implementation-id ()
  Pascal>   (format nil "~A-~A-~A"
  Pascal>           (first-word (lisp-implementation-type))
  Pascal>           (first-word (lisp-implementation-version))
  Pascal>           (first-word (machine-type))));;implementation-id

This could be problematic if any of the functions returns a string containing
illegal filename characters (e.g. /).
