making the full image default?

[Sam S. <sd...@gn...>]

shouldn't the full image be the default?

pro:
 * more functionality available by default - and this is crucial for
   the new users

contra:
 * it is conceivable that the full image might be less stable
   (although I don't see how)
 * it is larger and thus slower to load, and this might impact the
   #!/usr/bin/clisp scripts

"half-assed solution": clisp driver should run the "default" image
which should be a symbolic link to the actual module set; people can
make the symbolic link as they like.  this does not answer the original
question because we still have to decide where to point the default by
default...
