General

In this section our intention will be to describe two actually different subjects together. One is the prescription, or better to say, a case dependent set of descriptions

• to perform an actual creation of a LISP system,
• to start with some LISP program and create a compiled version of it.

The other is about the internal implementation of this compilation. So, those who don't have a burning desire to understand every bit of what is going on can simply avoid reading that part. But frankly speaking, it would be much better if one understands the underlying scheme of implementation, since the process of compilation, for the sake of portability, is not very straightforward. This detailed, ``why is it so'' type of explanations are put in italic, below.
