Hi, I applied some patches to slime cvs recently to try and help this.
They were designed for ecl cvs, so if you're not building ecl yourself
it'll be difficult to get slime to work with it. It works well enough
for me to do basic things- although the debugger leaves much to be
desired, and I'm working on that now.

Is there something that you had a particular problem with that you
wanted me to look at? Or was it just a general statement about its
being unkept? :)
