-;;; 5 = sbcl-0.6.8 has rearranged static symbols.
-;;; 6 = sbcl-0.6.9, got rid of non-ANSI %DEFCONSTANT/%%DEFCONSTANT stuff

-;;; 8 = sbcl-0.6.10.4 revived Gray stream support, changing stream layouts.

-;;; (b) new address space constants for OpenBSD in 0.6.12.17
-;;; (doesn't need separate version from (a) because the
