+<longdescription>
+Steel Bank Common Lisp is an open source Common Lisp
+implementation. It provides an integrated native compiler,
+interpreter, and debugger.
+
+SBCL is a fork off of the main branch of CMUCL. SBCL is distinguished
+from CMUCL by a greater emphasis on maintainability. In particular,
+the SBCL system can be built directly from its source code, so that
+the output corresponds to the source code in a controlled, verifiable
+way, and arbitrary changes can be made to the system without causing
+bootstrapping problems. SBCL also places less emphasis than CMU CL
+does on new non-ANSI extensions, or on backward compatibility with old
+non-ANSI features.
+
+Support for native threading on GNU/Linux is available for the x86
+platform, including support for the new futex system call available in
+2.6.x kernels.
