I think this one has been dealt with

See appendix C of your manual (pp 457 - 465)

Each common lisp implementation has a set of features which are listed in 
the variable *features*. The list of features for MCl 2.0 e.g. is (:CCL
:CCL-2 
:CORAL :COMMON-LISP :MCL :APPLE :CLTL2).
You can use the syntax ":#+feature form" to have code read under the 
condition that "feature" is part of the features of your lisp.
If you evaluate the following code in MCL you'll find that test1 gets only 
defined for MCL.

;;; mcl dependent def of test1
#+:ccl-2 (defun test1 ()
          "Macintosh Common Lisp")

;;; Allegro Common Lisp dependent def of test1
#+:acl-pc (defun test1 ()
          "Allegro Common Lisp")

This way you can  adapt your code to load only the appropriate defs
See C"ommon Lisp the Language", second edition, by Guy Steele, pp 531 - 540,
for a more detailed description of the #+ macro and others.

You're welcome.
