[Openmcl-devel] Clozure CL is healthy?

[Toomas Altosaar]

1. Great to hear that things are moving forward with ccl, thanks Ron and others!

2. I wish we had some confluence page where we could keep these "how to" instructions up-to-date; I'm pretty sure I'll end up hitting some dead ends when I try the installation.

3. Is it easy to state what is the oldest hardware and OS version that this specific ccl will run on?
