I did not have tried it under Windows but I have tried it under Linux
and Digital Unix. The only thing I had to do was this:
in configuration.lisp
(setq http:*http-host-name* "my-machine.here")
Important is that there is at least one dot in that name, this
information is burried somewhere in the documentation.
70-156a-pre does compile here out of the box ...
