Great.

Me too. What I learned was from reading other package definitions. It did 
seem to me that we would need to use git versions of some of the 
dependencies rather than releases which slightly complicated things for a 
first time packager. I also wasn't sure what to do about supporting 
multiple CL implementations. I was planning to stick with just SBCL to 
start.

I wonder if a quicklisp or similar CL package archive importer would make 
sense and be useful.

Agreed. I'll be here and jackhill on #guix
