I followed the instructions and it worked as stated except for one missing detail: nothing happened because I didn't realize I had to pass arguments to the bootstrapcompiler. I recommend adding a note to compile-run doc that you need command line arguments like "clojure.core clojure.set clojure.zip clojure.main". Once I got that working, it spat out dlls and subsequent startup went from about 9 seconds on my laptop down to 2!
