Using PCL instead of CLISP's native CLOS implementation is certainly a
possibility. There is also some other issues regarding a CLISP port, but
nothing that will make such a thing impossible. In fact I would very
much like to see a CLISP port done, but (at least for the moment) I have
decided to consentrate on CMUCL and hope that someone else would
eventually do ports for other implementations. I will of course provide
as much assistance as necessary to make this happend.

Although it is not very usable yet¹, the rewrite is now available in CVS
at SourceForge (<URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/clg>. I have also
created a mailing list to discuss the development of clg, and taken the
liberty to CC this reply to the list.


¹I have large commit coming soon which will reintroduce most of the
bindings.
