[slime-devel] patch for openmcl backend

[bryan o'connor]

the openmcl backend was using ccl:process-wait for the
control thread which would spike cpu usage while idling.
(and more annoyingly cause the fans on my powerbook to
spin up)

i added a semaphore and use that instead to signal new
data to be received.
