I'm not a Celtk user, but I am the Cells-on-SBCL guy, so I'm
definately paying attention here.  Could you please send patches in
unified diff format?  It's about 1000x easier to read (you can get
diff to produce it with the -u option).

If Kenny or Frank doesn't get to this before I do, I can look into it
in a couple weeks.  If you guys haven't sorted it out with Celtk
issues, it might be Cells related...

All of Cells uses the common-lisp.net infrastructure, and they turned
off anonymous pserver access due to the constant security nightmare it
implies.  Sorry.  I'd be happy with a move to svn, which would also
mean reliable anonymous access, but I'm not sure if there's a
reasonable client for Windows.  There's a good OS X one, though, so I
wouldn't be surprised if there was.
