After extensive testing with some other possible module and feature 
combinations, the very first and simpliest attempt was the best.
So please take the three urls from above.

Note that re-compiling from src is quite hairy and I couldn't trick some 
special m4 macros yet to spit out the correct LIBS.
So maybe you after a make failure, go need to go to build, fix makevars 
and make again. Sigh.

Packaging considerations:
--without-unicode will lead to problems with some asdf libraries out 
there. Easy to fix, but worthless. So you might need to call it
clisp -E 1:1
--with-module=matlab or pari requires those apps at loadtime, so a nono.
   I have a pari ready, but this will need more extensive testing.
--with-dynamic-modules, the real way we want to go - loading oracle, 
matlab, pari at run-time, i.e on request - is quite broken, but I'm 
almost on my way through.
fcgi is linked statically, so not needed as require. I haven't tested it 
with apache2, but from the command-line.
