Not Common Lisp, but Lush (http://lush.sf.net) is a Lisp dialect that 
compiles natively using using C as an intermediate language.  It was 
developed as a scripting language for machine learning research and has been 
used in commercial applications.  It also alows inline use of C.

Linj (Lisp is not Java, http://www.evaluator.pt/downloads/tutorial.html) 
translates from idiomatic Lisp to idiomatic Java and back, allowing Lisp 
programmers to work on Java projects without writing any Java code.  Haven't 
tried it, so I don't know how well it lives up to this goal, but you might 
find it interesting/useful.
