   I believe the FSF have taken over AKCL as Gnu Common Lisp, so they
   might use the code from Emacs, but really I think you're wasting your
   time.

Can someone confirm this please?  This would mark a MAJOR licensing shift
for *KCL, and would finally enable us (FreeBSD) to provide a bundled
distribution for it!
