Hi William. Some time ago, I looked into what it would take to port to
Corman Lisp. I put the effort aside when I discovered that Corman's
implementation of the MOP is based on Closette, and thus lacks
sufficient functionality that Closer to MOP is unable to support it.
See the email threads:

http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/closer-devel/2006-June/000066.html
and
http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/closer-devel/2006-July/000076.html

Graphic-Forms uses the MOP to define event dispatchers that wrap
callbacks supplied by the application, so proper MOP support is very
important.

There may have been other issues with a Corman port that I'm not
remembering.
