cxml-stp breaks ABCL

[charmon]

Even with various memory-size increasing java incantations, trying to load cxml breaks ABCL:

CL-USER> (asdf:load-system 'cxml-stp)
; Caught STYLE-WARNING:
; redefining CXML-STP-IMPL::NAMEP in #P"/Users/sly/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/cxml-stp-20120520-git/document-type.lisp" (previously defined in #P"/Users/sly/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/cxml-stp-20120520-git/element.lisp")

Other than the "Evaluation aborted on NIL" it seems like things worked, although this was a pretty big clue that things weren't quite right. However, after this the JVM is rather borked. You might be able to evaluate some simple expressions (like "3") at the REPL, but the JVM pegs the CPU and quickly becomes unresponsive.

The problem was triggered by insufficient PermGen? space. VM args need to come before the java main class in the java command string and therefore can't be set as args to the abcl sh script.

The recommended way to set JVM options for the abcl invocation wrappers is to set the "java.options" Java property at build-time in a file named 'abcl.properties'.

See trunk/abcl/abcl.properties.in​ for an example of the contents of such a file.
