Ah - right, the Togl stuff comes from http://togl.sourceforge.net/  
and should be installed as a step in Part III.

The ultimate idea would be to have a Cello Installation Tool -  
"Cellist" ;-) - that "just" knows your Lisp implementation and your  
platform and "just" grabs the bits and pieces from some asdf-install  
- supported place and incrementally builds Cello based on a few user  
decision which had been gathered interactively. Yeah - dreaming away ...
