I gave that a try.
Here's a simple version of a driver for the compiler, stored in src/
clj/clojure/compile.clj:
(ns clojure.compile)
(defn main
"Compiles libs into class files stored at compile-path.
All args are strings"
[compile-path & libs]
(printf "Compiling %d libs to %s\n" (count libs) compile-path)
(flush)
(binding [*compile-path* compile-path]
(doseq [lib libs]
(compile (symbol lib)))))
It works when run from within the Clojure repl:
% ls build/classes/clojure/hello*
ls: build/classes/clojure/*hello*: No such file or directory
% java -cp clojure.jar:src/clj/ clojure.lang.Repl
Clojure
user=> (require 'clojure.compile)
nil
user=> (clojure.compile/main "build/classes" "clojure.hello")
Compiling 1 libs to build/classes
nil
user=>
% ls build/classes/clojure/hello*
build/classes/clojure/hello$main__8.class build/classes/clojure/
hello.class
but when run as a standalone main, it gives an exception that appears
to be related to static initializers:
% java -cp clojure.jar:src/clj/ clojure.compile build/classes
clojure.hello
Compiling 1 libs to build/classes
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Var null/
null is unbound. (hello.clj:3)

For reference, here is the test compilee: src/clj/clojure/hello.clj:
(ns clojure.hello)
(defn main
[greetee]
(printf "Hello, %s wow\n" greetee)
(flush))
I'd appreciate help in getting a standalone invocation of something
like compile.clj above (i.e., using it's own main without Repl or
Script) to work.
In working through this, I also found that a compiler driver written
in Java may be preferable for use via build.xml because of a bootstrap
problem. Until we compile (something like) "compile.clj", we can't
call it as a standalone main. (One could add a step that builds the
compiler driver via a clojure.lang.Script invocation.)
