  Kalman is right about that.  To go further: once you have modified
  #FEATURE-CASE to use #+ and #-, you could use the code below to determine
  how to open a clim root window on different platforms (which seems to be
  what the *default-server-path* variable will be used for).
  
  Good luck.
  
In general, anyone who is having trouble compiling/loading scigraph should
get in touch with me.  I am very happy to see someone working on a port
to MCL.  I can help integrate those extensions with the master sources and
post them back to the clim library.

Reader macros can be difficult to use.  In Allegro, at least, each process
gets a copy of the STANDARD reader table.  This means that even though
you loaded feature-case.lisp, only one reader table (and hence one process)
will get to use #FEATURE-CASE.  Perhaps this has been a problem for some.
