[developers] compiling rms in sbcl

[Ben Waldron]

So, SBCL appears far stricter than the Lisp we generally use (there are 
many minor problems throughout the code base which need to be fixed). I 
now have the code in a state where it will compile (with many style 
warnings), although it doesn't yet run smoothly. But watch this space...
