14 Whatever you guys come up with, please see if you can get it to map
15 into our Lisp and Scheme stuff too. I'll happily help out with the
16 scheme and lisp stuff. For Lisp we have (currently): gcl, clisp,
17 cmucl, sbcl and ecls. For Scheme we have bigloo, drscheme, gauche,
18 kawa, guile, plt, mzschme scheme48 and scsh.

23 I *think* it is okay, as I often have both app-editors/emacs and
24 app-editors/emacs-cvs installed at the same time (both provide
25 virtual/emacs).
