I've updated the archives so they're up to date as of today.
The ones on the ftp server are a copy of the real ones, so they tend
to lag a bit. The compiler-let discussion is in info-mcl-92-p2.

The short answer is you can use CCL::COMPILER-LET in MCL 2.0, but we 
don't promise this will continue to be supported in future releases.
Moon also posted a technique for simulating COMPILER-LET with MACROLET.
