With regard to a Common Lisp for the Amiga, has anyone tried porting
Kyoto Common Lisp (KCL) ?  I suspect this point has been mentionned
before but in case it hasn't - KCL is a public domain common lisp, written
in C for various platforms (e.g. SYSV Unix and BSD unix).  Not having
looked at the code, I have no idea how plausible a port to the Amiga is, but
it may be an interesting place to start. 

I have limited, but favorable, experience using KCL. I installed KCL
on my UnixPC and to test it I tried to run a large AI system
(the system was/is being developed on symbolics and suns using
various common lisps such as Franz Allegro CL and Lucid CL). It ran
without a hitch (both "properly" interpreted and compiled).
