No.

You can access the site as <http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/>.

Yeah, I tried that last night, but the "Manual" link leads back to
sbcl.org... :(

Not at the moment.  (It's an obvious missing piece of our external
format support, along with byte-order-mark and possibly replacement
character treatment.)  At present, all external formats implicitly
treat the end-of-line as linefeed only (with the pain that this causes
on Windows) and does not treat an initial #xfeff as a byte-order-mark.

Fixing this would be nice.  It might not even be too hard now... a
nice gentle project for someone to tackle in their spare time ;-)

Cheers,
