I'm trying to get Franz Lisp to compile macros without putting
	(declare (macros t))
in the file being compiled.  The reason why I want to do this is that
my code needs to be intelligible to lisps other than just Franz, and
"(declare (macros t))" seems to be pretty Franz-dependent.

I thought this could be done by invoking the compiler as follows:
	liszt -e '(declare (macros t))' foo.l
However, this didn't work--the compiler acted exactly the same as if I had
typed
	liszt foo.l

I've tried several other approaches as well, but the only thing that has
worked is to do it all from Unix:
	(echo '(declare (macros t))' ; cat foo.l) > bar.l
	liszt bar.l
and that seems like a real kluge.  Can anyone suggest anything better?
