Actually, I'm not sure of that -- CCL pushes many *FEATURES* of the form :OPENMCL-FOO.

I think the latter is the most definitive indicator of CCL. Also, there are specific version indicators:

   ? (remove-if-not (lambda (feature) (search "CCL-" (string feature))) *features*)
   (:CCL-1.2 :CCL-1.3 :CCL-1.4)

Maybe these should be renamed to :CCL>=1.2, :CCL>=1.3, etc, but these versions are still there.
