Hi Jacob. Yes, I think this is a good idea - certainly in theory. In  
practice, though, I don't know enough about the main Lisp bundle, how  
to resolve obvious differences in syntax, and wouldn't in any case be  
able to test any changes, not having a Lisp system installed. Also,  
getting it wrong could bring down upon my head the not inconsiderable  
ire of the Lisp fraternity, like the poor bloke who was given a  
little more advice than he asked for - <http://www.redmountainsw.com/ 
wordpress/archives/lisp-usenet-almost-wipes-newbies-hd>.

But I think it's a valid goal, nevertheless.
