I while back I posted a request for information on any LISP to
C translators.  I recieved a number of responses.  The majority
fell into 1 of 2 categories.  The first category was:

Check out Kyoto Common Lisp.  They translate into C then machine code.

The second category was:

No. But if you find out anything let me know.

---
It seems that the main problem with Kyoto (for this application) is
that it produces basically unreadable C code.  The C code produced
it not meant to be a translation which is then maintainable.  It
must be run, also, in an environment established by the Kyoto system.
(Which, I believe, is quite large).
