Here's my fork of the main repo (I can currently not provide a link
listing only my commits due to the limited internet access):

https://sourceforge.net/u/musteresel/clisp/ci/default/tree/

This contains the changes that are currently useable. One thing I need
to check is whether I included the files related to gnulib (I think I
didn't, just the cache from which they can be reproduced using
gnulib-tool).

Next, the changes towards an autotools based build (and configuration)
system:

https://gist.github.com/musteresel/ee87db0a79e4eb22cfdd2d85afe45bff

This is a squashed commit (I made some changes back and forth which
are not that usefull in a commit history) of the current WIP state,
exported using hg export (thus should be importable using hg import on
the above repository).


Then, the libmagic module:

https://gist.github.com/musteresel/6c3b9eeea10818c7e8f6d6672b030401

It's still missing tests and does not cover the complete functionality
provided by the libmagic on my system.

Sorry for the delay, does the above help?

(A note regarding my limited internet access: This is very
unfortunate, and completely unexpected: My provider -simyo- merged
with/was sold to another company -blau- , which resulted in me being
switched to a different (mobile) network which apparently has a very
weak signal strength or is overloaded.)

In September probably almost none (exams). Starting Mid-October I'd
estimate about 10hrs/week, though could also be more (studies start
again but on the other hand then both of my kids are taken care of at
a daycare center; this means a lot more free time.). Next exams are
then around January/February.
