Actually, it's the cells part that's extra.  If you run the cvs
checkout in your home directory, cells stuff will live in

  ~/cell-cultures/xxx

Well, cells or cell-cultures, the key is checking it out from your
home directory.  If you make a cells directory, switch to it, and
checkout from there, you'll just end out with ~/cells/cells/cells :-)

Hey, cool!  If you ask me, all the different toolkits, the araneida
bridge ... this is just asking for a VHL app-building api that can use
Tk, GTK+, Cello, or the web as its UI.  Not now, obviously, but flying
pies and all that.

Oh, I finally stopped changing the interface for SBCL's callbacks, so
I'll add that to the ffi-extender sometime soon.
