Well, I wrote "binary".  The question is if sbcl version I use for
creation of binaries has all features needed by jfricas.  It should,
but testing is better than bling faith.

As I wrote my current thinking is that hunchentoot is dependence
like other dependencies: it is responsibility of person doing build
to make sure that it is available.  For convenience we can add
hsbcl tarball to the release area.  And of course instruction
in INSTALL.

As I wrote in other message this is not interface problem.  ATM I am
not aware of any problems with FriCAS-Aldor interface.

Well, long time ago I tried to provide patches so that people can
test various changes.  Feedback I received was almost empty,
so I rarely do this.

And this change is not more "dangerous" than many other changes.
In fact, supposedly innocent change can lead to breakage.  What
was different was late testing.  Fortunately Peter made progress
on this part.
