+<para>
+For near instant startup under SBCL you can save an image with
+<ulink url="http://www.sbcl.org/manual/Saving-a-Core-Image.html"><code>sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die</code></ulink>.
+Saving C++ instances is not supported.

+<section><title>Bundle</title>
+<para>
+To create a bundle containing an SBCL image and the required C wrappers libraries you can use
+<methodname>smoke:save-bundle</methodname>.
+The bundle is created using <ulink url="http://megastep.org/makeself/">makeself</ulink>.
+See 
+<ulink url="http://tobias.rautenkranz.ch/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=cl-smoke/qt.examples;a=headblob;f=/make-bundle.sh">make-bundle.sh</ulink> in <package>:qt.examples</package> for an example.
