yes, I know.

I even thought that this might make the clisp driver unnecessary:

all it is used for is:

-B/-M defaults -- can be extracted from exec filename (use -M "" for bootstrap)

-K - obsoleted by dynamic modules

/usr/bin/clisp is just a symlink to /usr/lib/clisp/base/lisp.run
(and find_executable() actually calls realpath() so this is not a problem)
