Initial import.

TODO:
$Id$

I have no idea, why "doc/" directory doesn't build with pkgsrc. To compile
ecl, do it by hand, then get back to normal build, eg:
	
	# cd work/ecl-0.9c-build/doc
	# gmake
	# cd ../../..
	# make install

	-- dotz@irc.pl


DESCR:
ECL stands for Embeddable Common-Lisp. The ECL project is an effort to
modernize Giuseppe Attardi's ECL environment to produce an implementation of
the Common-Lisp language which complies to the ANSI X3J13 definition of the
language.

The current ECL implementation features:
  * A bytecodes compiler and interpreter.
  * A translator to C.
  * An interface to foreign functions.
  * A dynamic loader.
  * The possibility to build standalone executables.
  * The Common-Lisp Object System (CLOS).
  * Conditions and restarts for handling errors.
  * Sockets as ordinary streams.
  * The Gnu Multiprecision library for fast bignum operations.
  * A simple conservative mark & sweep garbage collector.
  * The Boehm-Weiser garbage collector.
