This is probably only an answer to a related question :-! But I know that 
you can compile lisp files from aldor programs using libaxiom (inside 
Axiom). By going:

    import {COMPILE_-FILE_-QUIETLY : String -> ()} from Foreign(Lisp);
    COMPILE_-FILE_-QUIETLY <file_name.lsp>

more details of this can be found in my thesis:

http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~wn/thesis.ps.gz

section 4.5

and the code at:

http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~wn/prog.tar.gz

specificaly the file compslpaux.as

hope this is of help?

cheers,

Bill

P.S. my contact as to what functions I should use for this compilation 
(inside aldor), was Peter Broadbery, though I'm not sure if he follows 
this list.
