+changes in sbcl-1.0.10 relative to sbcl-1.0.9:
+  * minor incompatible change: the MSI installer on Windows no longer
+    associates .lisp and .fasl files with the installed SBCL.
+  * minor incompatible change: :UNIX is no longer present in *FEATURES*
+    on Windows. (thanks to Luis Oliviera)
+  * optimization: SLOT-VALUE &co are now ~50% faster for variable slot
+    names, when the class of the instance is a direct instance
+    STANDARD-CLASS or FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS (making them only 3x
+    as slow as the constant slot-name case.)
+  * optimization: member type construction is now O(N) instead
+    of O(N^2).
+  * optimization: UNION and NUNION are now O(N+M) for large
+    inputs as long as the :TEST function is one of EQ, EQL, EQUAL, or
+    EQUALP.
+  * enhancement: DEFINE-MODIFY-MACRO lambda-list information is
+    now more readable in environments like Slime which display it.
+    (thanks to Tobias C. Rittweiler)
