Well.  There are two places where this is needed in cl-ilisp.lisp plus
several in cmulisp.lisp.

For the time being, and given that it took a few years to go from 17
to 18 I guess ILISP can live with

   #+(and :CMU (or :CMU17 :CMU18))

in those places.

BTW.  Looks like sourceforge sshd is down right now.  Can anybody confirm?

Cheers
