hello

What software requires porting common lisp libraries?
There is no point in doing ports for CL libraries if it's not used by
a port.

We already have a few CL software in ports, and none requires ported
libs:

- net/clic uses no lib
- sysutils/cl-launch uses no lib
- sysutils/reed-alert uses no lib
- x11/spectrwm uses no lib
- x11/stumpwm uses 2 libs which are downloaded before compiling the
  port and then, stumpwm is compiled as a binary, including the libs

I already been thinking about packaging some libs but I found no
software to port to use them.

If a software would requires too much libs, it may be easier (as we
do for go packages) to use quicklisp to create a folder embedding
the libraries, and use that tarball for compiling it.

I also had patches for lang/sbcl and lang/ecl to add a system wide
folder into the asdf loading path in case we wanted to port libs
