With respect to point (A), this is no longer required as of r11676. If you build outside of the source tree, specify the abcl.home property (-Dabcl.home="some path") as a startup argument to the java process compiling ABCL. The property value will be used to find the lisp files required.

With respect to point (C), I found out that the PatternSet Ant task allows the specification of external pattern sources.
Both the Ant based build and the Lisp based build could use these sources, leading to a single source of maintenance, if well designed.

As of r11681, the Lisp based build uses out-of-tree building on both *nix and Windows. This does not mean feature compatibility with the Ant build yet. Missing:
1) Verified the same output
2) Use of the same file patterns as described above w.r.t. point (C)
3) Lisp build system needs to use the same templates (make-jar, abcl, others?) as the Ant build
To name a few.
Moving this issue to 0.14 for full resolution.

Comments from a post on armedbear-j-devel:
A) One has to copy the Lisp source over to the build/classes/org/armedbear/lisp directory as well for
the code in 'compile-system.lisp' to work correctly, making me worry
about platform dependent issues.
B) The JAR that results from the hosted-Lisp build is no longer
identical to the Ant build (it contains *.cls and *.abcl files, among
other difficulties)
C) Maintaining the two systems can be quite a chore (witness the recent
problem reported by Blake McBride because the ABCL maintainers "forget"
to include the new org.armedbear.lisp.util classes in the hosted-Lisp build.
D) The hosted-lisp has a lot of platform dependent macros for a wide
variety of Lisp implementations. I can only really test with SBCL and
CLISP, so I was a little worried about breaking things that at least
work right now.
