Has anyone hacked the Lisp interpreter out of GNU Emacs and made a
little, bare-bones, stand-alone lisp out of it? There are several
places in the source where things are conditionalized on "standalone",
but the job wasn't done completely (at least not if I understand the
intention behind those conditionals correctly). I've got part of this
done, but would be more than happy to use what someone else has done
instead if they've done a reasonably clean job. If not, and if there's
any interest, I'll make what I do available. What I'm aiming at is a
library you can link a C program against that will give you the
functionality of a Lisp interpreter; having it be portable to a wide
range of machines and operating systems early on is a big
consideration, which is why we thought of GNU Lisp.

Perhaps the thing to use here is ELI, instead of GNU Elisp. ELI is a subset of CommonLisp, developed for embedding in other application programs, written in C, available on the X11R3 tape and at CMU as part of the Andrew toolkit. Bill
