Subject: What are your favorite portable (or mostly portable) libraries

I'm trying to come up with a list of a handful of high-quality,
generally-useful libraries to point people to to demonstrate that
there are, well, high-quality, generally-useful libraries available
for Common Lisp. I'm particulary interested in libraries that are
portable between many or all Common Lisp impls.
For example I've been quite impressed with cl-ppcre. And I assume
cl-pdf is the bees knees since Marc has wrought the magic of
cl-typesetting on top of it.
What are your favorites?
-Peter
P.S. Yes, I'm going to point folks to Cliki and perhaps the new
common-lisp.net site but I also wanted to be able to brag a bit on the
cream of the crop.

I too like cl-ppcre. I'm using it to make Common Lisp versions of
programs in "Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics".
I use it so much I made a CLisp image with that preloaded, and use
that the default image I load up. I guess I made one of those
bottom-up languages built on top of Lisp. I call it Perlisp when no
one is looking.

Oh, it's old news for Lisp to do something out of the box that otherwise
requires a whole new language. So you can just call it, well, Lisp.
