Yeah the DSL would work great for that (maybe not the whole common lisp image thing..).
I've been shy about taking a run at implementing @dump - which I will do in a way that can be loaded into either of lispmoo2 or lambdamoo (but I will need to lay some groundwork inside lambdamoo for this to work without hitch, and the consuming-of-common-lisp will be verboten for those purposes, like your 8 bit port idea)
