hunchentoot

Goal: Install Hunchentoot and be able to run Hunchentoot as a background thread.

This is what I do:

Install Common Lisp.
Install Quicklisp.
(ql:quickload "hunchentoot")
(hunchentoot:start (make-instance 'hunchentoot:acceptor :port 4242))

The last command is supposed to start Hunchentoot, then return to the interpreter for further Common Lisp forms.

For CLISP, SBCL, ABCL, ECL, and CCL, I get one of two results:

Hunchentoot's dependency Bordeaux Threads fails to install.
hunchentoot:start hangs. The web page never loads, and never 404s.
