Daniel Barlow:
His contributions have included support for shared object loading
(from CMUCL), the Cheney GC for non-x86 ports (from CMUCL), Alpha
- and PPC ports (from CMUCL), control stack exhaustion checking (new)
- and native threads support for x86 Linux (new). He also refactored
- the garbage collectors for understandability, wrote code
- (e.g. grovel-headers.c and stat_wrapper stuff) to find
- machine-dependent and OS-dependent constants automatically, and was
- original author of the asdf, asdf-install, sb-bsd-sockets,
- sb-executable, sb-grovel and sb-posix contrib packages.

+ He made a large number of improvements to the x86-64 disassembler.

Nathan Froyd:
He has fixed various bugs, and also done a lot of internal
cleanup, not visible at the user level but important for
Espen S Johnsen:
He provided an ANSI-compliant version of CHANGE-CLASS for PCL.
+Teemu Kalvas:
+ He worked on Unicode support for SBCL, including parsing the Unicode

Frederik Kuivinen:
He showed how to implement the DEBUG-RETURN functionality.
Some of his fixes to CMU CL since the SBCL fork have been ported
to SBCL. He also maintains the cl-benchmark package, which gives
us some idea of how our performance changes compared to earlier

He has contributed a number of bug fixes and bug reports to SBCL.

Nikodemus Siivola:
He provided build fixes, in particular to tame the SunOS toolchain,
implemented package locks, ported the linkage-table code from CMUCL,
function on strings, removal of unneccessary bounds checks, and
multiple improvements to performance of common operations on
bignums. He ported and enhanced the statistical profiler written by

Raymond Toy:
He continued to work on CMU CL after the SBCL fork, especially on

Raymond Wiker:
He ported sbcl-0.6.3 back to FreeBSD, restoring the ancestral
