Well said.  It seems that a system built on Linux/BSD and gradually replacing 
the pieces is more likely to actually be built.  Once it is, it would be 
a great platform on which to build the system that I think we all really want. 
It'll also be a good place to make mistakes which can be learned from before 
the real OS is written.  If we can focus on this model, then we can stop 
arguing about whether or not pathnames should be supported and instead try to 
generalize an interface which can support both pathnames and something more 
lispy.

So...while the linux/BSD argument rages on, could I get a quick pointer to 
CMU-CL from someone since we appear to have agreed on that?
