thanks for the patch and the Makefile.  i'll merge them in a bit.

i expect to make a functional release tonight for cmucl 19a, sbcl and
allegro on freebsd and linux.  there have been a lot of changes this
weekend; my preliminary tests show it seems to be ok.  if you want to
help me by testing it on your platform, that would be great (i don't
have much access to linux.)  i think the code in CVS now is pretty
good.  i'm still writing documentation, writing tests, and trying to
find and fix bugs.

thanks for your interest.  can i ask what you are planning on using
elephant for?

Andrew and I are happy to announce Elephant 0.1.  Tarballs are on the
website

http://www.common-lisp.net/project/elephant

>From NEWS:

August 30, 2004 -

Elephant 0.1 was released August 30th, 2004.  This is an
ALPHA quality release, so claims about correctness,
performance and safety should be taken with a grain of salt.
This release has been tested on CMUCL 19a, SBCL 0.8.13 and
Allegro 6.2 on x86 Linux and FreeBSD.  OpenMCL and Lispworks
versions will come soon.

Enjoy, and send in your bug reports!

Ben and Andrew
