none if you leave it to me. i dont have access to a windows machine.  
the next problem would be getting a c compiler, then fighting sbcl,  
which would need to have callbacks working for there to be any  
chance. if there are callbacks then it might work. for example rts  
does work on linux sbcl (at least in the sbcl version i was using...)  
but not on my darwin sbcl. i think todd (may) have it working on  
tiger with sbcl. but as you see its hit and miss. it would definatly  
take someone that knows what they are doing on windows and sbcl to  
tackle this and im not that person, sorry.

i think i did my part - we spent alot of time writing a good posix c  
scheduler with a vanilla lisp side using straight-ahead cffi and  
common lisp. if it doesnt work in a particular lisp or os there is  
nothing i can do about it at this point

  best,
rick
