The attached patch removes these files again, and converts eql-specializer into a class.  (intern-eql-specializer now contains a bit of the "quick and dirty means" that AMOP mentions in appendix C -- it's called while initalizing the generic function call machinery so we have to open-code the behavior of make-instance.)

Good move, pushing the whole thing into CLOS.  The less Java the better.

I "corrected" the Java class naming to common conventions, as typically this marks code that we want to maintain.
