The SBCL team has tagged a prerelease version of the upcoming 0.8.0
release of the SBCL system.  The motivation for doing so was to
encourage testing of the new features in this release, notably native
threads under x86/Linux and an interface to the MOP in a more
integrated fashion than in previous releases.  Feedback, whether
reporting successes or problems, to the development mailing list would
be most welcome.

Steel Bank Common Lisp is a development system for ANSI Common Lisp,
running on Unix and Unix-like systems.

Can't resist.
when someone sends patches.

(More seriously, if anyone has an actual need for a Win32 port, I
expect that some greater-than-zero number of the SBCL developers would
be amenable to producing same on a consultancy basis.  Contact the
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=4134>
sbcl-devel mailing list to arrange details)
