[admin] Hosting for GTKlisp

Hi,

I wonder if it would be possible to host the project "GTKlisp" (1),
stable and sturdy GTK bindings for Common Lisp, at common-lisp.net.

The main goal of the project is to provide bindings for the GTK
toolkit which feel as native as possible to the Common Lisp
programmer. That means, type safety, comprehensive support for garbage
collection, and error recovery. It should work out of the box with
cmucl, asdf, and of course gtk-2.2 with pkgconfig.

At the moment it covers some basic functionality, but the
typechecking, GC and error recovery support is working. Adding new
functionality should be almost trivial. Development is focused on
ensuring sustainable development, portability, and in identifying
techniques which could be applied to other toolkits or to bindings to
other libraries.

The licence is BSD.

Regards,
        Mario S. Mommer
