I did that.  You can't very well :USE MK into CL-USER on Allegro,
because Allegro's CL-USER :USEs their :EXCL package, and their :EXCL
package contains their own DEFSYSTEM.  So using both makes a big
mess.

When I looked into this, I found that it was really painless, for the
few places where the MK-DEFSYSTEM stuff *was* used, to just turn FOO
into MK:FOO.

At the cost of a few extra characters, we avoid a gross effect on the
CL-USER package.  Seemed like a good tradeoff to me. 

BTW, I'm pretty sure that this was earlier discussed on the
mcclim-devel list, since I have only recently acquired commit
permission.  So I managed to persuade the community at large that this
would be at least an OK Thing To Do.

Best,
R
