SBCL should not be hard, but I haven't tried.  Clisp is doable, but
there will be a speed penalty, I think, because you can't directly
access Clisp's internal array layout.  Thus, every matrix operation
will do a copy in and copy out.  But perhaps that's still a win for
Clisp. 

In terms of porting, I think you only need to update the FFI code to
do the right thing for your desired platform.
