[info-mcl] ANNOUNCE: MCLIDE 1.0b

[Robert Schaaf]

Well, we're not out of the woods yet, but I guess the problem lies more with CCL than MCLIDE.

The dx86cl64.image doesn't have any of the modules EASYGUI, HEMLOCK, APPLE-OBJC-2.0, or APPLE-OBJC. EASYGUI won't load, failing on xinspector.dx64fsl, which it says is the wrong version fasl,

Trapping the error results in spawning another LISP instance, called temp bundle64.app.  Loading COCOA works, but also spawns the new process.

What I would like is an image that contains all the bells and whistles,  that is if CCL loads on demand like MCL, and prunes dead code on save-application.
