yes, please use lisp.

also, install.nsi hard-codes strings like "GNU CLISP" and
"2.42" which is no good (especially the latter).
these strings are available to makemake.in from the top-level version.sh
and, generally, from the configure substitution.
thus makemake should substitute @VER@ and @NAME@ in install.nsi when
copying it to the build directory (using sed or lisp).
