Yay, this sounds like it's going to be fun. I guess it's time for me to 
learn the internals of a CL compiler. I'm sure I'm going to hit a lot 
of dead-ends and other confusion going through this, so there'll 
probably be some follow-up emails along the way. Also, I hang out on 
#lisp (irc.freenode.net) as sellout, if anyone wants to see how it's 
coming along.

*crosses fingers* I guess it's time to dive in.
