the problem is that start.lisp can not be complied until after it has
been loaded. slime-compile-and-load-file doesn't deal with files like
this.

start.lisp is a script, its not meant to be compiled nor is it meant
to be used interactivly from within slime. At the same time i'm pretty
sure C-c C-l will work (unless the underlying lisp (cmucl for example)
attempts to compile files before loading them).

If C-c C-l does in fact work i'll add a note in start.lisp saying to
use it, otherwise i'll add a note reminding people to not attempt ot
load the file from within slime.
