[CM] cm,clm and sbcl

[nik gaffney]

thanks for this info,
 since im intersted in the realtime sysnthesis aspect of the clm system
would it make more sense to persevere with sbcl, and wait for a compatible
ffi.lisp ?
  
using debian on ppc, there are 3 options (it seems) for cl
 -clisp 
 -sbcl (derived from cmucl)
 -openmcl (derived from macintosh cl)

since clm 'works' using either these compilers on different platforms, or
their parent compilers (probably also on different platforms), whcih would
provide the most suitable for clm developemnt do you think?+
