Now that is _very_ interesting.  A kind of poetic justice that the _GNU_ lisp 
is affected :-).

The other problem files:
        swank-ecl.lisp
Could be removed too.

The remainder is fluff, but the slime people should get their act together and 
put it under some license.
        ChangeLog (as this is a generated file it can be considered
                   derivative of the others I assume)
        doc/Makefile
        HACKING
        NEWS
        PROBLEMS
        README

So until they act for at least some of these files  removing xref.lisp has 
little sense.
