docs(3p/lisp/mime4cl): describe changes compared to original version r/6182
Spell out that “may diverge” is more of a “has diverged by now”. We are essentially maintaining a fork of mime4cl.

Main aims were to improve +performance and reduce code size by relying on third party libraries like +flexi-streams. It is planned to improve encoding handling in the long term. +Currently, the library is being worked on intermittently and not very well +tested—**it may not work as expected**. + +## Differences from the original version + +* `//nix/buildLisp` is used as the build system. ASDF is currently untested and + may be broken. + +* The dependency on [sclf](http://wcp.sdf-eu.org/software/#sclf) has been + eliminated by inlining the relevant parts. + +* `MY-STRING-INPUT-STREAM`, `DELIMITED-INPUT-STREAM`, + `CHARACTER-INPUT-ADAPTER-STREAM`, `BINARY-INPUT-ADAPTER-STREAM` etc. have been + replaced by (thin wrappers around) flexi-streams. In addition to improved + handling of encodings, this allows using `READ-SEQUENCE` via the gray stream + interface. |
