[slime-devel] Patch proposal

[Ignas Mikalajunas]

   To solve the portability issues (i am running slime in windows) i
think the following source should be included into the slime
distribution:

--- swank-loader.lisp	2 Jan 2004 08:16:46 -0000	1.11

  (list* (make-swank-pathname "swank-backend") *swank-pathname*

I am not sure whether the part with #-mswindows and #+mswindows is
necessary windows at least win2K handles the .swank.lisp without any
problems at all.

  The old version of this function was not working in windows anyway ;)
i had to remove the "\\".
