I would like to use cl-fad in mcclim. Right now there is, so to speak,
a partial implementation of it included in the Clim Listener; in
addition to this my File Selecto [1] depends on the functionality of
CL-FAD as well, and I don't quite like to just duplicate the code.

As we have now two places where CL-FAD is useful and as we could get
rid of some stuff in the Listener I would like to have mcclim use
cl-fad; even more as we now have already an external dependency with
the spatial-trees package.


Btw, I have resisted to include the File Selector in McCLIM as it is
not very nice right now, codewise. In the end it should be the default
ACCEPT method for files in +gadget-view+ --- this does already
partially work (see at the end of file-selector.lisp for the
definition) but still the corresponding ACCEPT-PRESENT-DEFAULT
method is missing. Also I would much prefor to use
WITH-OUTPUT-AS-GADGET in the selector but it is not yet usable for
that job in the moment.

Bye,
Max
