I have been keeping a fork of Cells on github [
http://github.com/Ramarren/cells/commits/master ], although mostly to
keep cells-gtk working. I have tried to understand how cells work a
few times, but it seems to require more effort than I can put in...
anyway, I have modified it to work on CCL. Neil, you might want
compare your changes with mine and send me any I have missed, so there
will be version of cells working on CCL somewhere public. Not that
anyone will find it, perhaps I should put a pointer on Cliki, but I
would want to look like I was hijacking it or anything.

I have also rearranged defmodel to remove the warning you mentioned.
Apparently, CCL is even more touchy about order of definition than
SBCL... but while I was at it I managed to somewhat simplify defmodel
macroexpansion (and I can see how it can drive anyone who likes MOP
crazy, the entire thing seems to be hanging on symbol plists!).

I hope I haven't broken it, but cells-gtk application seems to work,
which would be unlikely with broken cells, and after all I did not
touch the internals.
