- Installation is fairly simple. The main requirement is that you
- have a copy of &defsystem;. You can download the latest version
- of &defsystem; from the <ulink
- url="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/clocc">
- <citetitle>CLOCC</citetitle></ulink>
- CVS tree. After installing &defsystem;, simply
- <function>push</function> the
- directory containing &uffi; into
- <varname>mk:*central-registry*</varname>. Whenever you
-want to load the &uffi; package, use the function
- <computeroutput>(mk:load-system :uffi)</computeroutput>.

+ <emphasis>Foreign Function Interface</emphasis>. Necessarily,
+ only a common subset of functionality can be
+ provided. Likewise, not every optimization for that a specific
+ implementation provides can be supported. Wherever possible,
+ though, implementation-specific optimizations are invoked.
