I have just manufactured a version of CSL that is (perhaps) easy to call
from other C code.  What follows is the main chunk of code that shows
what the interface is.  What this means wrt REDUCE is that I will want to
manufacture an alternative to (BEGIN) that reads-simplifies-prints just
one REDUCE expression/command at a time rather than the current single
function that gobbles things for ever....

/*
 * The next fragment of code is to help with the use of CSL (and hence
 * packages written in Lisp and supported under CSL) as OEM products
 * embedded within larger C-coded packages.  There is (of course) a
 * significant issue about clashes between the names of external symbols
 * if CSL is to be linked with anything else, but I will not worry about that
 * just yet.
 * The protocol for calling Lisp code from C is as follows:
 *
 *     cslstart(argc, argv, writer);allocate memory and Lisp heap etc. Args
 *                                  should be "as if" CSL was being called
 *                                  directly and this was the main entrypoint.
 *                                  The extra arg accepts output from this
 *                                  stage.  Use NULL to get standard I/O.
 *     execute_lisp_function(fname, reader, writer);
 *                                  fname is a (C) string that names a Lisp
 *                                  function of 0 args.  This is called with
 *                                  stdin/stdout access redirected to use the
 *                                  two character-at-a-time functions passed
 *                                  down.  [Value returned indicates if
 *                                  the evaluation succeeded?]
 *     cslfinish(writer);           Tidies up ready to stop.
