Hi,


I agree with Kenny's assessment. One note: If you are using cells-gtk under 
windows (and not clisp) then Martin Svenson points out that you need this one 
patch (not in the tarball).

Martin's email:

Hi.

I was trying to get cells-gtk working with Allegro CL 7.0 and discovered 
a small error in the #+win32 part of gtk-ffi.lisp

(defun libname (lib)
   #+(or win32 mswindows)
   (concatenate 'string
     "/Program Files/Common Files/GTK/2.0/bin/"
     (ecase lib
       (:gobject "libgobject-2.0-0.dll")
       (:glib "libglib-2.0-0.dll")
       (:gthread "libgthread-2.0-0.dll")
       (:gdk "libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll")
       (:cgtk "libcellsgtk")))


The (:gtk "libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll") clause is missing. After adding 
that, it works like a charm.

Thank you, I look forward to updates and more examples! :-)
