I'm actually using clisp at the moment. I tried GCL-2.6.5 but failed.
I'll have to try the GCL ANSI build. Do you know if it can support
defclass?

LTK does not have any code to support GCL yet. The main issues are
the do-process function which encapsulates the various "run process"
function calls and the socket code which I have not yet looked at in
GCL. 

Though elegant, there is no obvious reason why it needs to use defclass.
I'm tempted to rewrite it into more vanilla lisp but have not done so yet
as I'm trying to stick to the main task of getting a runnable hyperdoc on
windows with the least resistance path.
