well, that's wasn't fair from me... actually what i am missing is only
a publically accessible repository preferrably with two branches, a
dev and a release branch.

i usually check out the dev branches of opensource projects and update
them from time to time. when i find a bug, i first update the dev
branch, try again and if it's still there try to fix and send patches.

darcs is a very good friend in this, because you can have several
versions locally. (in fact every checkout is a branch)

well, i think we should do something about it. unfortunately that's
all i can help in this: admin (at) common-lisp (dot) net

no worries, and thanks for your comments! i'll fix it up, add some
doc, remove the (safety 3) changes and send a new version.
