[developers] Linux and macOS versions of LKB-FOS

[Ned Letcher]

Hi John,

That's super exciting!

I managed to get it running and parsing on my Ubuntu 17.04 machine. There
were a few errors on run of the 'lkb' command from within Emacs. I've
included the output below. It looks like there might be some hardcoded
paths that don't match my system in the lk-fos binaries. One is failing to
pickup yzlui. Would be great to have yzlui support.

It could also be good to add suggestions for installing slime, as I suspect
many won't have it on their system. 'sudo apt-get install slime' did the
job for me, and I also had success using the Emacs package manager.

(progn (load "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp"
:verbose t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall
(read-from-string "swank:start-server") "/tmp/slime.31486"))
