I use SBCL rather exclusively.

I usually test and deploy behind mod_lisp2 / apache2 - this works
well (after updating kmrcl to play nicely with SBCL) though this
introduces a rather opaque layer into the debugging process when
things just don't quite work correctly.

Not me.

I would be very likely to use this as a solution to a number of
projects where taking Apache out of the setup would greatly simplify
things.

After you released Hunchentoot, I took a hard look at the source and
have been considering factoring out the non-portable code ever
since.  I'd be terribly happy if you beat me to it though ;)

Another project on my TBNL agenda that I started part way down was
seeing if I could remove some dependencies (primarily kmrcl) without
adding a whole lot a code to TBNL.

Do you happen to be sold on the wonders of the Darcs version control
system? ;)  If you're not strongly tied to whatever VCS you're
currently using, a public darcs repository could be a real boon.

Cheers,
