Correct. Except for "clc-clbuild slime" which should start an emacs with
slime running.

This mostly works (I had to do some patched to clbuild itself).

That is the next step in the scheme, first we need to have Faré's
improved asdf working.

/me nods

It could be feasable, but when it breaks it's a hellish fight to know why.

I've had ARM related bugs on sbcl/clisp that were kernel and hardware
specific. And as we can only logon to developers machines, which might
not be the buildd machines this can make debugging ... interesting.

That is in fact exactly the command and syntax that I had in mind :-).
