BTW, from your patch I saw you are using git. Haven't you thought to move CL+SSL 
repository to some git hosting?

IMHO the Lisp solution is better, because it frees end user from compiling
C code. Before developing a C version, we should be sure that performance
is really somehow significantly affected by the fact that the locking and thread-id
callbacks are in Lisp. Anyway, cl+ssl is embedded into systems where everything
is in Lisp.

(I wander, why OpenSSL does not include these locking and thread-id functions
itself and require users to copy/paste the C code from the examples.)
