I believe that ilisp does actually have a mirror, listed on freshmeat;
CMUCL is still unavailable, but the branch of it that I'm using (SBCL) is
actually pretty good - you can get it from http://sbcl.sourceforge.net.

Actually, this problem was fixed in a much simpler way - by realizing that
ilisp had support for SBCL under a name that wasn't listed anywhere in the
