Just to emphasize, the standalone FSBV works, the integration project is
very early and probably doesn't even compile.  The syntax will likely change
somewhat when the integration is ready.  I just noticed that the
repo.or.czgitweb page is giving an error so I sent an email to the
admins.  There's a
mirror at
http://common-lisp.net/gitweb?p=projects/gsll/fsbv.git;a=summary;js=1 but it
seems to be lagging by one commit.
