That appears to be just a bundle to get new Lisp users up and running with an environment they can start developing in, similar to http://www.gigamonkeys.com/lispbox/.
The original link posted is a Google AI Challenge Lisp starter pack. It is a starter pack for a specific application. Weitz's starter pack wouldn't be as helpful to someone who is trying to get up and running with the Google AI Challenge.
