Thanks! It would be nice if there was a doc wiki so things like this could 
be compiled in one place. Its a bit of a put off for new users to have to 
sift the archives in vain for common things like this (although I did 
eventually find some posts hinting at it in passing).

My next dumb question: how do I force ecl to reload a shared library? I 
want to recompile code and then call the new versions without restarting 
ecl. Based on glances at the gc code that unloads libraries I try this:

(defun nuke-package (name)
   (let ((pkg (find-package name)))
   (do-symbols (s pkg)
     ;(si::unlink-symbol s))
     (when (eq (symbol-package s) pkg)
       (fmakunbound s)
       (makunbound s)
       (unintern s) ))
   (delete-package pkg)
   (si::gc t)))


But it doesnt seem to be quite enough.

This seems like a natural thing to do, am I missing the simple answer?
