I'd say you can solve the problem with

#+LISPWORKS-PERSONAL-EDITION
(pushnew :lispworks *features*)

but actually, I don't think it's dishonest, because code which needs #
+lispworks may depend on some feature not present in the personal
edition... so you have to distinguish the two some way, and I think
it's perfectly understandable if they treat the full edition as
"normal" and the personal as "special"...
