Yes, that's what I also observed, but we had different reports
regarding earlier versions.

The file doesn't seem to have a license - which is true for all of
ACL-COMPAT as far as I can tell.

Besides, that doesn't look like the real strategy to me.  I'd rather
not have code in Hunchentoot which adds basic functionality to
OpenMCL.  If there's no better way to overcome this problem, I think
Hunchentoot should require ACL-COMPAT on OpenMCL.

Ah, thanks, I think you're right.  I'll change that.

Thanks,
Edi.
