+changes in sbcl-0.9.10 relative to sbcl-0.9.9:
+  * new feature: new SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE keyword argument :EXECUTABLE can
+    be used for bundling the runtime and the core file into one 
+    executable binary. This feature is not currently supported on all SBCL
+    platforms.  (thanks to James Bielman and NIIMI Satoshi)
+  * minor incompatible change: the method by which SBCL finds its
+    contributed modules has changed; it no longer relies on symbolic
+    links from an $SBCL_HOME/systems directory, but searches directly
+    in the subdirectories of $SBCL_HOME.
+  * enhancement: the dynamic heap size on the Linux/PPC platform is
+    markedly larger.
+  * fixed bug #399: full call to DATA-VECTOR-REF in accesses to
+    certain complicated string types.  (reported by Gary King)
+  * fixed bug: STRING-TO-OCTETS and OCTETS-TO-STRING did not convert
+    character codes.  (thanks to Yaroslav Kavenchuk and Ivan Boldyrev)
+  * fixed bug: DOCUMENTATION on structures no longer signals an 
+    error if no structure type of the right name exists.  (reported by
+    Glenn Ehrlich)
+  * fixed bug: compiled calls to MAKE-INSTANCE where there is an
+    applicable non-standard primary or :AROUND method on
+    INITIALIZE-INSTANCE or SHARED-INITIALIZE and a non-keyword initarg
+    no longer cause unbound variable errors.  (reported by Kevin Reid)
+  * fixed bug: metacircle resolution in cases where methods have slots
+    added before the slots from STANDARD-METHOD.  (reported by Jean
+    Bresson)
