I'm not having much success with this. I've uploaded my latest changes
to my repository (it probably won't build, and it does, not symbols
will be accessible...). Does the def*Fld stuff rely on names being
module-export'd? That's the only difference I see much significance in
between the CL and Scheme libraries. The files I'm concentrating on
are:

gnu/commonlisp/lang/CommonLisp.java
gnu/commonlisp/lisp/*.lisp ; files from which I am trying to def*Fld
