  just to update my previous response.  Allegro CL 5.0 has more command-
  line "punch" than I related in the previous article.  I wrote the build
  stuff for 4.3 and never really took the time to update them.  Allegro CL
  5.0 takes some new command-line options, listed here with the old
  equivalent option, minus the necessary quoting the shell needs.

-C file	    -e (compile-file file)
-L file	    -e (load file)

  some probably find this a lot easier to deal with, especially from
  scripts.
