-NOTE: the .clisp file is copies back into the src directory so that
-it is possible to create a new obootsys system from scratch for a 
-new platform. parse.clisp needs to be compiled in a depsys.
-one thing need to be done to create an obootsys by hand:
-  parse and postpar must be loaded along with the depsys files

-if these two things are done then a obootsys image can be bootstrapped

-IMPORTANT: all source file names in this Makefile must be lowercase
-  This is for cross-platform compatibility and also makes getting

-\subsubsection{Structure of [[depsys]]}
-
-The [[depsys]] image is made of the following Lisp source files
-
-\begin{description}
-\item[Interpreted Lisp source files]
-  The following files are currently part of [[depsys]] in interpreted
-  form.  The exact reasons for that are not well articulated.
-
-  \begin{description}
-    \item[\File{nocompil.lisp}]  This file defines obscure functions
-    that seem to be there only for obscure reasons.  Most of them are not
-    really needed for translating Boot codes.
-  
-    \item[\File{bookvol5.lisp}]  This file defines functions for
-    the Spad interpreter.  None of which seems relevant for translating
-    Boot codes to Common Lisp.
-
-    \item[\File{util.lisp}] This file defines various ``system-level''
-    helper functions, for building [[depsys]], [[interpsys]], etc.
-
-    \item[\File{vmlisp.lisp}]  This is a collection of various utility
-    functions, encapsulations of variabilities of Lisp implementations.
-    All those symbols are defined in the package [[VMLISP]].
-    It needs some strip down, and possibly have its contents moved
-    to the package [[BOOT]].
-
-    \item[\File{ggreater.lisp}]  This file defines various orderings 
-    on collections and other aggregates.  Its content is defined in the
-    package [[VMLISP]].
-
-    \item[\File{hash.lisp}]  This file defines a ``hash table'' module.
-    Its content is defined in package [[VMLISP]].
-
-    \item[\File{union.lisp}]  This file defines functions that
-    compute set-theoretic operations (union, difference, intersection, etc.).
-    Its content is in package [[VMLISP]].
-
-    \item[\File{nlib.lisp}]  This file defines to work around problems
-    with GCL when compiling Spad files.  It is not necessary for
-    translating Boot codes to Common Lisp.  Its content is in package
-    [[VMLISP]].
-
-    \item[\File{macros.lisp}]  This file collects various helper macros
-    and functions for Boot and Spad codes.
-
-    \item[\File{comp.lisp}]  This file defines several functions that
-    desugar Boot and Spad codes; in particular, they infer local
-    variables from their position in assignment expressions.  Its
-    content is defined in package [[BOOT]].
-
-    \item[\File{spaderror.lisp}]  This file defines error handling functions
-    that are useful only for Spad codes -- not for translating Boot codes.
-    Its content is defined in package [[BOOT]].
-
-    \item[\File{debug.lisp}] This file defines debug utilities for
-    essentially Spad codes.  Its content is defined in package [[BOOT]].
-
-    \item[\File{spad.lisp}]  This files defines the entry points for
-    processing Spad and Boot codes.  Its content is defined in package
-    [[BOOT]].
-
-    \item[\File{bits.lisp}]  This file implements a ``bit vector''
-    data type.  Its content is in package [[BOOT]].
-
-    \item[\File{setq.lisp}]  This file defines several global
-    variables.  Its content is defined in package [[BOOT]].
-
-    \item[\File{property.lisp}]  This file defines properties of
-     Spad and Boot tokens, as well as several constructors.  Its
-    content is defined in package [[BOOT]].
- 
-    \item[\File{unlisp.lisp}]  This file attempts to define interfaces
-    to the Operating System, that are not found in strict ANSI 
-    Common Lisp (though they may be present as extensions with
-    varying spellings.).  Its content is defined in package [[BOOT]].
-
-    \item[\File{foam\_l.lisp}]  This file defines the FOAM functions.
-    The packages [[FOAM]] and [[FOAM-USER]] are defined here.
-    It is not needed for translating Boot codes to Common Lisp.
-
-    \item[\File{axext\_l.lisp}]  This file defines various macros and
-    functions for interoperability between Aldor and OpenAxiom.  Not needed
-    for translating Boot codes to Common Lisp.
