Oh, ok, I did not realize that was win-specific. Just changed them all. 
Along the way I noticed that UFFI has a "supporting libraries" option on 
the load-library function. I guess win32 does that automatically, and I 
barely glanced at what you did for ftgl while pulling it in, but i 
noticed supporting library work there as well. Could you have used UFFI 
for that?

I got held up with a small refactoring when I went to generalize the 
"semi-automatic" thing from the scroll stepper to the paging bar, but I 
have merged with Frank's stuff and moved hard-coded stuff out into 
configure.lisp. It ain't fancy, but it's a start, and it is hard to 
refine until folks with other configurations try to use it. Anyway, if I 
get a good work stretch in today I should be starting on the Lispworks 
check-up to see what ASD changes are needed and if anything 
AllregoCL-specific snuck in.

After Portacello3 I will start work on a paper for Pascal Costanza's 
ECOOP co-located "Lisp day" (June 13?)  in Norway, which I plan to 
attend. My goal will be to demonstrate how functional application 
complexity can be managed without commensurate application complexity 
thanks to the declarative nature of cells and their automatic dataflow 
handling. I'll drag in object reuse since it is an OO show. It happens 
specifically to be a conference focused this year on autonomous software 
agents, so I may dust off RoboCup... or start a virtual pet project. Or 
a flocking birds screensaver. Or something.
