ECLS <http://ecls.sourceforge.net/> seems to be specifically aimed at
this target. See <http://ecls.sourceforge.net/ecldev.html> for
documentation of the Lisp/C interface.

That depends on the interfacing you want to do. If you mostly need to
call from CL into C, then the ALIEN facility of CMU CL is IMHO a
pretty nice interface. If you need callbacks from C to CL, this is
somewhat trickier in CMU CL.

See the CMU CL User Manual and the CMU CL website and EncyCMUCLopedia
for details.

Regs, Pierre.
